C. 1-1'm Dear Mr. President, Will you kindly grant a ten minute audience, to two members of the Junior Citizens of America, Monday, January 28, 1935? We have a modest gift for you, selected by the boys, and knowing how very busy you will be on January 30, we thought it best to see you in advance of your natal day. This organization has been functioning for eight years; has two thousand members in Nassau County, New York and is a crime prevention project. Its sole aim is the promotion of good citizen- ship. You may recall our visit at Albany, in 1931, when you were the governor of our state. The members of the party will consist of: J. Frank Ricca, age 19, of East Rockaway, N. Y., representing the senior division; Vincent Doherty, age 11, of Valley Stream, N. Y., representing the junior division and the undersigned. Respectfully, Founder, The Junior Citizens of America.

January 16, 1935. My dear Mrs. Gibbons: Your letter of January thirteenth has been received. 1 am very sorry indeed that the pressure of the President's work makes it impossible to arrange for the boys to pre- sent their gift to him. It has been custom- ary for me to receive such gifts in his be- half. If the boys will send it to me by parcel post or express, or if they come to Washington and will call at the Executive Office, I shall be glad to receive it and present it to the President at a convenient time, with the compliments of the Junior Citizens of America. Sincerely yours, Mo H. McINTYRE Assistant Secretary to the President em Mrs. John T. Gibbons, 28 Munson Place, Lynbrook, Long Island, New York. January 24, 1935 My dear Mrs. Gibbons: I have your letter of January nineteenth with further reference to the presentation of a gift to the President by the Junior Citizens of America. I note you state you will call at the Executive Office on Monday, January twenty-eighth, at 3 p.m. I would appre- ciate it if you will make this call at 4 p.m., at which time I shall be glad to receive the gift in the President's be- half as stated to you in my letter of Jan- uary sixteenth.

Y. January 19, 1935. Mr. M. H. McIntyre, Secretary to the President, Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. McIntyre, Your letter of January 16 has been received. Regarding the presentation of the gift of the Junior Citizens of America to the President. I wish to say that there is a peculiar condition in Nassau County, as you probably know, it is almost entirely Republican. While our organization is not in politics and I will not permit them to stampede my new voters, (each year we have a goodly number reaching the voting age), and back of them are their parents and friends, like an endless chain. I believe that if you will speak to the President, he will see that I have quite a problem to cope with and I feel certain he will want to cooperate. As to our work, we refer you to the Police Departments of the various villages in Nassau County, in which the organization functions. The boys were received at the White House by President Hoover, February 24, 1932. So that you will readily understand that this is not a publicity seeking venture. We shall call at the Executive Office, Monday, January 28, at 3 P. M. Your confirmation of the receipt of this letter will be appreciated. Yours very truly, Lucile Giffons Founder, The Junior Citizens of America. a-} January 15, 1935.

Dear Mac: I am not unmindful that the President is obliged to refuse many requests for an inter- view with him, however brief, but I really think that he should see if only for a moment, Mrs. Regina Jais, the well known author of such fine literature of "Legendary Germany and Legendary France". Her work has been generally acclaimed and her testimonials, which I have read, are international. When she comes to Washington the latter part of this week, or the early part of next week, she will carry a letter to you from me. Her mission is to present personally to the President her volumes, suitably bound and inscribed. This, I assure you, is not for pub- licity purposes but because she has been a great admirer of the President even before his election. I bespeak for her your most considerate attention. With a message of personal regard, I am as ever, Faithfully yours, Shrehaw GAR:CW Hotel: GUSTAYUS ROGERS. 521 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK February 8, 1935 Col. Marvin H. McIntyre, The White House, Washington, D. C. Personal not Departmental Dear Mac: I am writing, in extension and explanation of my letter of February 4th to you, transmitting the in- formation that a letter will be presented to you by Mrs. Regina Jais, an author of international reputation, who desires a very brief moment with the President. I desire to make clear to you, that I am aware from my own experience and from what you have told me, that it is impossible for the President to arrange to see even a fractional number of the people who clamor for an audience. On the other hand, I am confronted with the problem that before and during the 1928 and 1930 guber- natorial campaigns and the 1932 presidential campaign, because of my intense interest in the result, I called upon people of influence and of wide acquaintance to be of assistance, and I am glad to say that many of them, despite their past political affiliations, came to our standards. I know several who made substantial financial contributions and materially aided, who look to me and occasionally ask for some courtesy or recognition, it may be a letter of introduction to the President or to you. I cannot very well decline without giving deliberate offense, however diplomatically I may word the refusal. Should I issue such a letter or ask for some slight recognition for a devoted friend, I may be misunderstood; perchance, you may even think I am not sensible of my own status or the resultof my requests. It is because of this perplexity, I am writing so that you will understand I am not promiscuously issu- ing letters of introduction, nor that I am attempting to unduly add to what I know is your problem and the Presi- dent's burden. 521 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK February 8, 1935. -2- When I get to Washington and you have a spare moment I shall be glad to amplify what I have here written, but I am sure you will understand. I send my renewed message of profound regard to the President and to you and hope this finds you both in very good health. As ever Faithfully yours, GUSTAVIS Gus ROGERS. P.S. I am informed that Mrs. Jais will present her letter to you tomorrow, Saturday, the 9th, or possibly not until Monday, the 11th. She and her husband are registered at the Shoreham Hotel.
