Dear Mr. President:
Again I take the privilege of sending a little gift
XPR.7.9-R
which I made up especially for you, on this, your
60th birthday.
If you will plug it, the lamp is ready to light, and
as light is a symbol of life, so do I sincerely wish
that yours may shine gloriously for a great many more
years to come.
Hoping you will enjoy it as much as I did in
designing and making it up for you, I am,

Miss Grace Tully
White House
Washington, D.C.
My dear Miss Tully:
Enclosed herewith is a rough sketch of the gift I made
up for the President on his sixtieth birthday, which might
help you locate same.
The reason I am SO anxious for Mr. Roosevelt to have this
gift is that I feel that he will get some measure of en-
joyment out of it, as well as the knowledge that there
are many persons like myself who are grateful for the
job that he is doing in these trying times and who wish
to show their appreciation in some small way.
Therefore I will feel doubly happy if you advise me of
the receipt of the humble gift which I made specially
for the President. It is made of solid Walnut, with
two bulbs on each side, to symbolize that life should al-
ways shine brightly and victoriously for our President
long after all our enemies are wiped off the face of
the earth. In the center of the stand is a picture
of the President, and an inscription.
Please advise if anything that meets this description
has been received, and many thanks for all your trouble.
Sincerely yours,
I. Kulick

world eight times, and has made
a graphic record of his travels,
from the cruise ports of the Car-
ribbean to the temples of the
Nile, with special emphasis on
water and ships.
There are 80 prints in the ex-
hibition at the Olin Memorial Li-

artist and by G. A. Pfeiffer of
New York.
Knows His Ropes
Mr. Kappel is well known as an
illustrator, and yachtsman and
sailors (than whom as critics there
are none whicher) say that he has
every spar and stay and sheet
just right. But he never permits
himself to become merely rep-
resentational. Though the facts
are there, they are a means for
conveying the spirit of whatever
he depicts. There's a romantic

Dear Mr. President:
If this letter and enclosed sketch should ever find
their way into your hands, as I hope they shall, their meaning
to you should be an attempted expression of my deep gratitude
to this country and to you, coupled with boundless confidence
in a glorious victory, achieved under your superb leadership.
Your birthday, Mr. President, is a day worthy of
celebration throughout the entire civilized world, but it means
even more than that to me, an Austrian refugee, who has found a
new home here and a country worthwhile fighting for.
As I am a sign painter now and working hard in my
56th year, I would feel greatly honored, if the humble birthday
gift, which I designed especially for this purpose would graciously
be accepted.
May you, Mr. President, enjoy good health and full strength
in the difficult times to come for the benefit of all humanity.
God bless you!
Most respectfully yours,
