Ich erlaube mir, Ihnen mein Buch "Von Moskau nach Jerusalem"
zu ueberreichen. Es ist die Lebensgeschichte eines Juden, der an
eigenem Leibe das Schicksal seines Volkes erlebt. Ich habe mit mei-
ner schwachen Feder versucht, den Ausweg zu zeigen, jenseits von
Hass und Rassenwahnsinn, nach den Gesetzen der Vernunft und Humani-

Wenn mein bescheidenes Buch Ihren Beifall, Herr Praesident,

reichlich entschaedigt sein.

My Dear Mr. Roosevelt;
An invitation has come to
me from Mr. Edwin H. Morris, Editor of The
Federal Architect, to attend the unveiling, which
owing to the kindness and indefatiguable
enthusiam of the architects of Washington- (with
this gentleman at their head) -is shortly to occur
in memory of the long obscure colonialaarchitect,
Robert Mills.
Having recently written a book
"
entitled Robert Mills, Architect of the
Washington Monument, (published by the Columbia
University Press), is the reason for my being so
honored.
My book was largely inspired by the
knowledge that this great man had lain 80 years

The Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt
President of the United States
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I
ardent admirer of you, your magnetic qualities, am kind an
disposition and and your sincere desire to help the your poor people
this great country in the land of plenty.
Mr. Roosevelt, it would be a genuine pleasure and much easier
rather than attempt to write them.
for me to tell you, in person, the things I have in mind,
First, I am a young man thirty-fiveyears of age, single, and
selling is my profession. I am a Catholic and a firm believer
of same. Every morning and night, I make the sign of the
cross with the "holy water of Lourdes" and plead with Almighty
God, the Supreme Being of mankind, to give you health and
strength and courage to enlighten your wonderful brains to con-
tinue your marvelous work in this great country. I also pray
that God will spare you indefinitely to carry on your great work.
Mr. President, this letter is so sincere from the very bottom
of my heart that I regret exceedingly that I cannot have the
extreme pleasure of telling it to you in person and shaking
your wonderful hand.
I have asked my dear old saintly mother, who is seventy years
of age, to pray in union with me and her reply was, "Son, I
have done so ever since the first time I heard President Roose-
velt speak over the radio. I knew he was a great and grand man
and a leader, because he recognized the Supreme Being of man-
kind--Almighty God."
Mr. President, I have written to the Confraternity of the
Precious Blood at Brooklyn, N. Y., a Catholic order to which I
have belonged for a number of years, for a bottle of holy water
called the "water of Lourdes", from our Lady's Shrine in France,
which has cured the blind, the sick and the lame. Every morning
and night, I make the sign of the cross on my forehead with this
holy water and ask the Almighty God to give me the faculty with
which to think and then I make the sign of the cross on my
tongue asking Almighty God to strenghten my speech, and I
can tell you truthfully, sincerely and modestly that I am
extremely successful and the main support of my dear old
mother, my three sisters and my little nephew.
This, I attribute to the implicit faith and confidence in
my religion and the water of Lourdes. A bottle of this
"water of Lourdes", I am forwarding to you, registered, under
separate cover.
Wishing you every measure of continued success towards help-
ing the poor people in this great country of ours and with
kindest thoughts and best wishes for your and Mrs. Roosevelt,
I am

Dear Mr. Early:
We are again writing to you in regard
to the possibility of securing a new uncopyrighted
portrait negative of the President. Over a year ago
you were very kind to have made for us a negative of
the President at his desk which we needed in order to
furnish pictures to the Governor, Secretary of State,
Attorney General and Superintendent of Public Instruct-
ion as well as other public officials.
At the 1935 Illinois State Fair we
furnished two extremely large portraits, one of the
President and one of the Governor, but since the picture
of the President was a side view, it was not as effective
and did not match as well as it might with the Governor's
which was a front view.
This year the Fair officials have asked
us to secure a new portrait of the President, particular-
ly a front view, to be used in front of the grandstand
where it will be seen by from 400,000 to 500,000 people.
We are sending you a print of the President as we have
worked it up for a head and shoulder portrait. We are
also sending a print of the Governor which is the size
and type of portrait we would like of the President.
Last Sunday we were at Vincennes, Ind.
dedication of the George Rogers Clark Memorial where we
made sound motion pictures of the President, and are
sending you an 8x10 photograph for your files.

Dear Mr. President;
7/7 ES
As your staunch political
admirer, I am today sending a sample of my idea,
the World Flag Builder. I do this because of
the beautiful American flag involved in game,
which you, as the nation's executive, so ably
represent, and which we democrats know you will
continue to represent for another four years.
When your mind is free from
care of state, wont you kindly test it? You
find it interesting, and when it comes to the
making of two flags of different nations simil-
taneously, it will tax your wits, just as some
flags are already trying your patience.
Try making our American flag
first, then turn it over, after placing box
bottom atop of flag in box lid - and you will
smile, Mr. President.
Very respectfully,
( Arthur E. Garner )

(Personal)
My Dear Mr President.
I am taking the liberty to send for your
entertainment a "work of Art" which will, I believe, be of interest
to you.
The enclosed "picture" is in reality a "mask" ever a face you
know, and is designed for possible public interest to "guess"
who's face it is -a new angle of interest-in men of affairs.
If you will take a few seconds to follow instructions on the
back of the "picture" I am sure you will get a genuine surprise
as a face familiar to you will surely appear, as out of nowhere.
To tell you would remove the interesting feature--a guess who it
is.
1 am sending a copy to the Hon. James A. Farley your Campaign
manager, hoping of course he can see an interesting method of
public interest in it.
This is sent to you and Mrs Roosevelt so you will have the
pleasure of seeing a phenomenon of the human eyes.
Thank you kindly and trust I am not presuming too much in
taking the liberty of sending you this interesting "work of Act".
You will in all probability hear from your Postmaster eneral
with reference to this entertaining feature. In any event you
can keep the "picture" for the amusement of your family.
Thank you again for the your courtesy of your attention.
Yours Very 'ruly.

For convenience and possible error in instructions on the

You must gaze at the V just above and to the right over the
nose as you look at it-for 30 tp 50 counts. The low of the 5.
Hold the card very quiet.
ake the gaze away to a smooth surface-the wall-ceiling-or
out of a window at dark.
The wall or space must be white or black to get a good "face"-.
After a few tries the face will come easily as you will know what to
look for--but you must wait a moment or several for the face
to appear-it may take several seconds -or it may come very
quickly-depends on the kind of eyes you have.
The sharper the eyes-the quicker you will see-let the children
have a try.
The 'face" will appear more than once if you keep the gaze steady
for a 1/2 minute. If it moves off a little let the eyes move
with it.

My Dear President osevelt:
I thought you would be interested in receiving an excellent engraving
of Yourself on a penny as well as a photo of the inventor and copy of the
story which I have sent out to numerous Magazines.
I am also enclosing some photos showing the completed East Bay Section
of the $77,000,000 San Francisco Oakland Bay Pridge.
I also wish to tell you that San Francisco theatre audiences "almost
go wild" with applause and enthusiasm when your pictures are thrown upon
the screen. There is only a ripple of applause when Governor Langdon's
picture appears and you should hear them "HISS" when H. Hoover's picture
appears on the screen. If the applause of San Franciscans is an indication
of your popularity in other sections of the country, then you can be sure
that you will remain in the Presidential Chair for the next four and I
hope for the next eight years.

Machine turns out reproductions of The President, Will Rogers, Golden Gate
International Exposition, Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bay Dridges

These guns are perhaps a hundred years old and are

in this particular case they match. I found them
in Scutari, one of the ancient cities of the country.
There are only a few pairs to be found in Albania

the mountain clans in Albania.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
The July number, special feature issue of
"The Police Magazine of Mexico City" published in the
interest of the peace officers of that vicinity, con-
tained many lauditory and friendly greetings to the
Peace Officers of Los Angeles County, California.
Editorials appeared commenting on and outlining the
cooperation and fine understanding which exists among
the law enforcement bodies of the two countries.
The cover of the magazine displayed the
picture of George Washington, First President of the
United States. A cut of yourself was featured on the
inside.
As Editor of The Guardians of Peace and
Property, a magazine of the same intents and purposes
printed here in Los Angeles County, I have been asked
to return the compliment, simply an international
exchange of courtesy, in my forthcoming issue, which
I will be pleased to do.
Would it be, Dear Mr. President, within
the bonds of propriety, to ask you for a few words
of greeting to those Mexican Peace officials, and

Dear Mr. Hull:
I am mailing to you under separate cover three small
souvenirs, which I turned by hand and made from a piece of
timber taken from the original log office of Gen. Sam Houston
which, as you know, was located in our little town of Lebanon,
x
Tennessee, prior to 1840.
XPP7
One of these is for yourself, one for Vice President
Garner, the other please present to President Roosevelt with
9-8
my compliments and sincere appreciation for the splendid efforts
he has made in behalf of our country.
Perhaps you do not remember me, but I hope you may be
able to recall a merchant at Riddleton, Tennessee, Smith county,
who has spent many pleasant hours in your company, when we were
several years younger. I am now past eighty-two.
My kindest regards to you and our President, a truly
great man, and may God bless him in the things he is trying to
accomplish.
Your sincere admirer and friend,

I am a Catholic and a firm believer\nof same. Every morning and night, I make the sign of the\ncross with the \"holy water of Lourdes\" and plead with Almighty\nGod, the Supreme Being of mankind, to give you health and\nstrength and courage to enlighten your wonderful brains to con-\ntinue your marvelous work in this great country. I also pray\nthat God will spare you indefinitely to carry on your great work.\nMr. President, this letter is so sincere from the very bottom\nof my heart that I regret exceedingly that I cannot have the\nextreme pleasure of telling it to you in person and shaking\nyour wonderful hand.\nI have asked my dear old saintly mother, who is seventy years\nof age, to pray in union with me and her reply was, \"Son, I\nhave done so ever since the first time I heard President Roose-\nvelt speak over the radio. I knew he was a great and grand man\nand a leader, because he recognized the Supreme Being of man-\nkind--Almighty God.\"\nMr. President, I have written to the Confraternity of the\nPrecious Blood at Brooklyn, N. Y., a Catholic order to which I\nhave belonged for a number of years, for a bottle of holy water\ncalled the \"water of Lourdes\", from our Lady's Shrine in France,\nwhich has cured the blind, the sick and the lame. Every morning\nand night, I make the sign of the cross on my forehead with this\nholy water and ask the Almighty God to give me the faculty with\nwhich to think and then I make the sign of the cross on my\ntongue asking Almighty God to strenghten my speech, and I\ncan tell you truthfully, sincerely and modestly that I am\nextremely successful and the main support of my dear old\nmother, my three sisters and my little nephew.\nThis, I attribute to the implicit faith and confidence in\nmy religion and the water of Lourdes. A bottle of this\n\"water of Lourdes\", I am forwarding to you, registered, under\nseparate cover.\nWishing you every measure of continued success towards help-\ning the poor people in this great country of ours and with\nkindest thoughts and best wishes for your and Mrs. Roosevelt,\nI am\nYours very respectfully,\nPaul C Griffin and Mother\n(Child of Mary\nPaul C.

Over a year ago\nyou were very kind to have made for us a negative of\nthe President at his desk which we needed in order to\nfurnish pictures to the Governor, Secretary of State,\nAttorney General and Superintendent of Public Instruct-\nion as well as other public officials.\nAt the 1935 Illinois State Fair we\nfurnished two extremely large portraits, one of the\nPresident and one of the Governor, but since the picture\nof the President was a side view, it was not as effective\nand did not match as well as it might with the Governor's\nwhich was a front view.\nThis year the Fair officials have asked\nus to secure a new portrait of the President, particular-\nly a front view, to be used in front of the grandstand\nwhere it will be seen by from 400,000 to 500,000 people.\nWe are sending you a print of the President as we have\nworked it up for a head and shoulder portrait. We are\nalso sending a print of the Governor which is the size\nand type of portrait we would like of the President.\nLast Sunday we were at Vincennes, Ind.\ndedication of the George Rogers Clark Memorial where we\nmade sound motion pictures of the President, and are\nsending you an 8x10 photograph for your files.\nTrusting that you will be able to\naccommodate us again, and thanking you in advance for a\nreply at your convenience, we are\nYours very truly,\nHG:JS\nPhotography\nHERBERT GEORG STUDIO\nARCHITECTURAL\nAERIAL\nINDUSTRIAL\nADVERTISING\nCATALOG\nFive\nwiel\nprt. q.g\ng\nPP7 9-H\nJune 30, 1936.\nPaichlar\nRespectfully referred to the State\nDepartment for appropriate acknowledg-\nment.\nM.
