The President was much pleased to receive
your letter and asks me to thank you heartily for
writing and for the pencil drawings which you were
good enough to send him. He is glad to accept these
sketches, and deeply appreciates the spirit which
prompted you to send them.

to locate the place in which the President expressed some
interest. It was surprising to note how di fferent the
south side of the Rappahannock is from the northern neck and
how little known are the places of historic interest in
that section.
I decided to investigate without asking
anyone and believe I found the place which seems to answer
the description you gave me. Fifteen miles from Fredericks-
burg, I found a road that leads to an old Taylor house which
stands on an elevation but not directly on the river. Close
by are the ruins of the Butler house, which was destroyed by
fire. I concluded that these were not the properties in
es
question and continued down the macadam road in the direction
of Tappahannock three more miles, where I found to the right
"Gay Mount", owned by Mrs. Robb, a very prominent place on
a hill, but not directly on the river. To the left, however,
I found a road leading through large trees to "Hazelwood",
the old home of John Taylor. Two wings of this house are
still standing intact. The central portion of the house was
destroyed during the War between the States, and a frame
structure was erected there. The enclosed pictures give an idea

My dear Miss LeHand:-
Last Monday I had some business at the
Naval Proving Ground at Dahlgren, Virginia, and while in
that vicinity I took the opportunity to visit a number of
places on the south side of the Rappahannock, in an effort
to locate the place in which the President expressed some
interest. It was surprising to note how different the
south side of the Rappahannock is from the northern neck and
how little known are the places of historic interest in
that section.
I decided to investigate without asking
anyone and believe I found the place which seems to answer
the description you gave me. Fifteen miles from Fredericks-
burg, I found a road that leads to an old Taylor house which
stands on an elevation but not directly on the river. Close
by are the ruins of the Butler house, which was destroyed by
es
fire. I concluded that these were not the properties in
question and continued down the macadam road in the direction
of Tappahannock three more miles, where I found to the right
"Gay Mount", owned by Mrs. Robb, a very prominent place on
a hill, but not directly on the river. To the left, however,
I found a road leading through large trees to "Hazelwood",
the old home of John Taylor. Two wings of this house are

of the two wings, and also the little house where slaves
were sold. The location of this house is directly on
the Rappahannock on a high bank where the river makes a
bend. Mr. E. L. Garrett owns the property, and I under-
stood from Mrs. Garrett that the estate oncescontained
2,000 acres. It is now reduced to 365 acres.
From this point on the Rappanannock could be
also seen a very large house up the river about two miles,
which is also situated on a bank. This is of red brick
construction and is known as the Darling house. It was
never completed because of lack of funds on the part of
those constructing it. It contains about 40 rooms Mrs.
Garrett informed me. The tract of land connected with
this house is small, however. I did not learn of any-
thing down the river within five miles which would seem
to fit your description as closely as the John Taylor
house. It seems rather interesting that on the opposite
side of the river, just a short distance above this place
is "Powhatan", built by Colonel Edward Thornton Tayloe
of "Mount Airy", one of the outstanding Georgian houses
of the northern neck of Virginia.
Please extend to the President my very kindest
regards, and to you both my best wishes for the New Year.
Sincerely yours,

as a token of my admiration of your efforts to restore our
country to prosperity and an earnest of my own cooperation
to promote the success of the N.R.A.

myself, at the age of twelve, lost entirely the sight of my
left eye in a Pennsylvania silk mill. This "Blue Eagle"
panel which I send you was carved by me with the use of my
right eye only.
The carving is cut in relief from a solid piece
of white pine, and is not a fabrication of small pieces glued
together. The signatures inserted in the back are those of
forty-eight representative residents of our city of Winter Haven,
each of whom is a native of one of forty-eight different states
of the Union. It is quite remarkable, and symbolic of its
cosmopolitan citizenry that a town of less than 6000 white
inhabitants should number among them a native son or daughter
of each of our forty-eight states.
Each of these adopted citizens outlined in pencil,
before I carved it, the star which symbolizes his native state,
commencing alphabetically with Alabama at the top to right of
scroll, and proceeding clockwise around the frame to Wyoming
at left of scroll. My own wife signed for your native state
of New York.
I hope you will do me the honor of accepting this
specimen of my handiwork, and I trust that its possession will
afford you a small measure of the pleasure I have had in making
it for you.
With sincerest personal esteem and best wishes for
the continued success of the N. R. A., I am

My dear Jim:
An employee of our Company by the
name of Ben Erickson has designed and built what
might be called a plaque, which he wants to give
to the President as a Birthday Gift. This will be
sent to you by express, and I shall be glad if you
will open the package in order that you may see
this piece of workmanship, and then I am asking you
to send this over to the White House by messsenger,
unless you could take it over personally.
This plaque represents four months'
of his spare time. There are 570 pieces of six
different kinds of wood in this plaque; namely,
Mahogany, Walnut, White Maple, Birdseye Maple, Birch
and Cherry, and you can readily see how difficult this
workmanship is and how neatly it has been executed.
Mr. Erickson would like to have this
reach the President in timefor his Birthday. I am
enclosing herewith Mr. Erickson's letter to the
President, which he would like to have accompany the
plaque.
I hesitated sending this direct
as I know that packages, addressed to President
Roosevelt, are always scrutinized and in many cases
probably never reach him. For that reason, I thought
best to send it direct to you.

trouble I may be putting you to in the matter, and
hoping this finds you well, I am

PATRIOTIC RALLY
SPONSORED BY THE
IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1934
165TH INFANTRY ARMORY
NEW YORK CITY
IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN
Historical Sketch
HE Improved Order of Red Men is a brotherhood of individuals
whose personal characteristics are not sacrificed but whose com-
mon interests are maintained and strengthened, as its members
harmonize around its council fires.
The Order is built on love of country, and its history and development is
SO entwined with the history of our country as to make the two inseparable.
About 1765, patriotic societies sprung up throughout the colonies. In the
middle and southern states there were organized the Saint Tammany
Societies, and in Boston, the Sons of Liberty.
These societies were not ritualistic but the colonists assumed on occasions,
the garb of their red neighbors, for safety and expediency. After the Revolu-
tion, the societies began to die out, as they had served their purposes.
During the War of 1812, Fort Mifflen, on the Delaware River, was gar-
risoned by the sons of some of the leading citizens of Philadelphia, who
were ardent supporters of the old Saint Tammany Societies, and from the
personnel of this garrison, the Society of Red Men was organized in 1813.
The inspiration for the selection of the name Red Men came from the
knowledge of and probably membership in the old Saint Tammany Societies.
The Red Men flourished, organizing branches in many of the cities through-
out the thirteen states. They were interested in the mutual relief work and
engaged in this noble purpose for many years. Towards 1830, the society
deteriorated, and instead of continuing the serious work for which it was
organized, its members gave their time to conviviality until finally the better
element withdrew.
In 1832, the country had an epidemic of Asiatic Cholera, and the Society
of Red Men became dormant.
When conditions improved, some of the substantial conservative members
of the Society of Red Men reorganized in Baltimore, and in 1833, a new
group was instituted under the name Logan Tribe No. 1 of Baltimore. This
tribe became the first of the Improved Order of Red Men as it is known today.
The reorganized Order and its purposes became popular and soon numer-
ous tribes were organized throughout the State of Maryland, and in May,
1835, the Great Council of the State of Maryland was instituted. Applica-
tions were received from other states for the institution of tribes, and finally
the Great Council of the United States was chartered in the State of Pennsyl-
vania in September, 1846, and subsequently rechartered by an act of Congress,
THE FRATERNITY PROMOTES OF FREDMEN
with full powers to grant sub-charters throughout the various jurisdictions
of the United States.
The Old Saint Tammany Society, the Society of Red Men and the Improved
Order of Red Men constitute a complete chain. They had identical cere-
monials, and each was the continuation of the other, the latest in the point
of organization carrying with it the precepts and the secrets of the one
immediately preceding.
Today, the Improved Order of Red Men and its Sister Society, the Degree
of Pocahontas, in addition to their fine work of Americanization extend
"AMERICANISM"
friendship and charity to all, regardless of race, creed or religion.
Appreciations
HE Committee in charge, takes this opportunity of expressing its
thanks and appreciation for the able assistance and services of
those individuals, organizations and concerns, whose contribu-
tions and suggestions have made it possible for this affair to be
the success that it is:
To Colonel William J. Costigan and his staff, for their assistance and
cooperation in securing the 165th Infantry Armory.
To Colonel Joseph A. Marmon, Captain Arthur C. Purvis, Warrant Officer
William C. White and Sergeant Dan Cohen, of the 16th Infantry United
States Army, for the presence of the military band at this function and for
the wonderful music.
To Mr. Walter Neff and the staff of Station WOR, for their enthusiasm and
generosity in making it possible for many thousands not present to hear
this splendid program.
To Miss Yvonne Cyr, for the vocal selections.
To The Melodians for the interest they have shown in traveling here from
Connecticut, to add their contribution to this program.
To Mr. Hugo E. Rogers, for his many helpful suggestions, and particularly
for the time he has spent in summarizing the history of the Improved Order
of Red Men.
To that splendid character, humanitarian and American, The Voice of
Experience, whose advise and suggestions, not only to the public, but to this
Committee, were always most graciously and generously forthcoming, and
whose message on Americanism, on this occasion, we are sure will be long
remembered.
To those members of the Improved Order of Red Men, who have given SO
unstintingly of their time and efforts to assist the Committee.
To the advertisers, who made possible this souvenir program; the advertise-
ments should be read, and the subscribers thereof patronized-they deserve it.

"My Pledge"
W hereas: A review of current events and conditions throughout
the world offers definite proof that it is a glorious privilege
to be able to say, "I am a citizen of The United States of
America", and
W hereas: Never in the history of our country has there been greater
need for collective action against those insidious forces of
lawlessness and espionage, which would set at naught the
very liberties guaranteed us under the Constitution, and
W hereas: True Americanism involves far more than lip-patriotism
and war-time hysteria, and
W hereas: It is my privilege as well as my duty, as a citizen of this
great Commonwealth, to support 100% the Constitution and
the Government in times of peace as well as of war, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED:
First: That I hereby re-dedicate my life to the service of my coun-
try, to the end that by my thoughts, my words and actions,
I may prove myself worthy of the great honor which is mine
in my guaranteed rights as an American Citizen, and
Second: That, in addition to using my right of franchise wisely,
I hereby pledge myself at all times to uphold and defend the
Constitution, against internal as well as foreign enemies, and
Third: That, if I hold my citizenship by adoption, I hereby and
hereafter renounce any former national affiliations, and accept
both in spirit and in fact, my adopted country to which I
pledge un-hyphenated allegiance, and
Fourth: That since this country was originally settled by those seeking
escape from racial and religious prejudice, and the founders
of our Government have guaranteed under the Constitution,
both racial equality and religious freedom, I therefore heartily
subscribe to this doctrine and pledge it my unqualified support.
If you subscribe to the foregoing pledge fostered by the Improved
Order of Red Men, please fill in this coupon and mail to National
Headquarters, Herbert F. Stetser, 1521 West Girard Avenue, Phila-

these are of any value in your estimation,
to be placed in with your collection or not,

you you. can see though that these stamps
are as we know 64 years, and 57 years

I am sure you will find much theirin that hooks up

It was my pleasure along with my illustrious father,

confer with Lindbergh regarding many of the thoughts con-

When you have finished perusing its pages, will you

Colonel Lindbergh has gone to Washington not, how-
ever, to assist his government in a time of distress, but to
criticize President Roosevelt for doing his sworn duty.
Lindbergh could hardly be interested in the financial end
of the development of aviation, since he only receives a total
been re-
of $16,000 a year salary.
There is no doubt but that Lindbergh could have capital-
ized on his flight to Paris to the extent of several million velt are
dollars.
There must be some other motive for his actions.
