Dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover we are sending with our complements
an old Indian relic which we feel would be a most interesting
addition to your collection of Americana in Hyde Park.
We picked up this relic from an old Indian Gentlemen in
East Dennis, Mass. It is an ancient tribal piece which was
used by the tribe Medicine Man for extracting teeth.
We hope this tooth extractor will find a place among the
many fine pieces you already have.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr President: II 24 AM
May I write Ctov say my warmest thanks for the
forty-five minutes you were good enough to give me
last Monday. The talk I was privileged to have with
you made a perfect climax to my long trip through
the American republics. I am infinitely glad that
you found time to receive me, and thank you very much.
I am sending you today copies of my "Inside
Europe" and "Inside Asia" with a little inscription
describing my emotions on being "inside" the White
House. When the Latin American book is ready, some
time in late summer or autumn, it will follow, of
course.
With deepest homage and admiration, I beg to

Dear Mr. President:
Here is a book right down your alley.
It puts into type and pictures the old American Spirit in
about as clear and convincing a way as you could find in a
day's journey. And in the modern style. no time lost on
phrases.
I got interested in the book by having it introduced to me
by Frank Buchman, the Oxford Group leader. Moral Re-Armament,
you know. It appealed to me as something to be boosted, talked
about, distributed. Hence I am doing my part. I've spoken of
it on the air; sent copies to leaders and have tried to help
work out a way to get it into the hands of everybody. Millions
of them.
As far as I know, this is a purely patriotic move; no profit;
no high priced press agents; and so I leave a copy with you.
From your friend,
Eacl Godwin

Miss Gladys Smith of our school.
Miss Smith is nineteen years of age
and has been a victim of Infantile Paralysis
since about the age of six. She is now
completing a course in Trade Dressmaking.
Gladys is one of the most cheerful and
likeable girls in the school in spite of
her great handicap.
It has occurred to me that you might
like to have a picture of this courageous
young sufferer and that she would appreciate
an acknowledgment and a word of encourage-

is 446 Willard Ave., Toronto, Ontario.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
It is a sure sign that there is still some
hope left for this bewildered world when the in-
spiration to write poetry can still be found a-
live.
Under separate cover I have sent you a
11
complimentary copy of "FACE TO THE WIND" - in
which I have attempted to express some of the
common idioms of thought in America and the
rest of the civilized world.
Of course, there are other, lighter themes,
in this little but compact volume.
At any rate, I do hope you find many minutes
of real enjoyment in the forty pages!
With kindest regards and best wishes for your
continued good health, I remain,

Dear Miss LeHand:-
I got a fresh-run salmon last night, which I sent to the
President today. I hope it arrives in good condition and that he
enjoys it.
Tell him with my kind regards and good wishes, I am so
grateful for him to keep America out of war. We would have to
stop sending so much to England, and I do feel when all this terrible
time is over, if we are not ourselves exhausted, we shall be able
to help everybody, and perhaps stave off revolution -
I keep wondering if he is planning for Peace. We should have
all our wisest and best brains here and in England trying to have a
workable scheme ready so that we can offer helpful suggestions. If
America, England and Germany could get together they might remake
the world into something "Nearer to the heart's desire" - Hate,
revenge and bitterness only SOW the seeds for more wars. I am going to
write to one office and ask them to send you the June and July Reader's
Digest. - There are some very helpful ideas and it is full of what
Germany is doing for the war. Also there is a new drug, Sulphathiazoll
they should look into and use for our Army. I had a hospital in London
for over three years, in my home, and then I lent it to the American's
for a Naval Hospital. Of course I did not run that but I was in touch
with them and I felt very badly so many of our men were down with
diseases they should have been protected from contracting. I talked
to Dr. William Osler who was a great friend of my Father's and my
consulting physician, in my hospital at Aldford House.- I asked him
why London could not have been made a more decent place for men home
on leave. He told me if the Government would give him a free hand he
would clean up London in a month. I passed on the information, but
very little was done I fear - Anyhow, I understand Sulphiazoll is good
for many things. My brother, Jay Phipps, gives it to his COWS and
brood mares with wonderful results. It cleans out old troubles of
many kinds - infected hands, or mastoiditis can be cleared up without
operations if taken in time. I have heard so much about it, I felt
I would like to draw the President's attention to it, if he is not already
informed about it.

Will you read what Hitler is doing with 1000 scientists
helping him in the war, and how the German war is run? It is
marvelous! We should do the same, only much better. Many of the
ideas he uses were American. In the last war I was close in
touch with things and it was pitiful the jealousy and obstruction
between the Army and Navy. I read in Germany the brilliant young
officer is made to go through the infantry, the aviation and the
Navy. He knows and understands all these services, hence their
wonderful co-operation and co-ordination. They work understandingly
together - not apart.
Forgive so long a letter. What I have written that seems
helpful bring, if you approve, to the President's attention.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
