Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,

Dear Franklin:
You are a good man to give the Class of 1904 the
coming Tea on April 21st. I hope to be there. Apparently you
are going to see a lot of people at that time.
I was somewhat intrigued, a year and a half ago
Mg B
I think it was, when you sailed into Portsmouth Harbor and Mayor
Hartford or somebody gave you "Rambles About Portsmouth" and
will
"Ninety Years at The Isles of Shoales", which was stated in the
100k
local press. My attention was caught especially because they had
not given you my book on Portsmouth, which happens to be my
for
birthplace and home. As it has a good deal of early voyage stuff,
in view of your present courtesy to me as expressed by this Tea,
books
I am going to send you before the 21st a copy of "Early Portsmouth
History" by Ralph May. To soften this blow to you somewhat I am
to
going to send along with it, on the bare chance that you have not
it now, a copy of Champlain's Journal. This is very fascinating
reading of the first recorded voyage of considerable length along
the coast from the St. Croix River southward. As you probably
know, it is delightfully told. The translation is good. I think
as one who has cruised this coast as you have, if by the slight-
est chance you have not seen it and do not own it, you will find
it of interest. The day by day pages can be read at will. They
are all a fascinating description of a summer's cruise by shores
we know well but to Champlain a wholly unknown new world. I cruised
up last year, as you did, over much of this territory.
Very truly yours,
RM/ED.

My dear President Roosevelt:
I am taking the liberty of sending you a book by
Professor E. Wight Bakke called THE UNEMPLOYED MAN, a social study on the
subject of Unemployment Insurance.
The author, Professor Bakke, was granted a fellow-
ship and went to England for the express purpose of making this study. It
seems to me that Professor Bakke was more than successful in the work he
undertook. Professor Bakke lived with these men, women and children, and
it seems to me he had the sympathy to understand what was in the hearts of
these ordinary British workers whose lives are made sorrowful by the fear
of who will feed the hungry mouths of tomorrow.
It has been said, and it is still said, by many
people who think they are interested in the subject that the insurance of a
man's job is debilitating to his character, I think Professor Bakke shows
very clearly from first-hand information, and after close contact with these
British workers, that the fact that a man has job insurance gives him a
certain sense of security for the future, and strengthens his character as
well.
I do not know what you think about Unemployment
Insurance. I venture to predict that there is nothing of SO great importance
to the American citizen of the future as this question of Unemployment Insur-
ance.
Sincerely yours,

Honorable President:
I have taken the liberty of knitting your
picture, which appeared in one of the local news-
papers, and am sending it to you under separate
cover.
Probably the first impression you will
receive would be that this work has been made by
a woman, but, no doubt, you will be surprised to
know that it is done by a young man of about
twenty-eight years of age during his spare time.
I hope you will get as much pleasure out of
it, as I did in making it.

The President asks me to acknowledge

May fourth and for the plaques of the President's
summer home at Hyde Park and his bust.
I regret very much that it will not be
possible to grant your request for an appoint-
ment at this time. As you can readily understand,
the President is under terrific pressure and I am
finding it difficult to arrange the necessary of-
ficial appointments requiring his personal, imme-
diate attention.
May I suggest, as an alternative, that you
write your plan and the additional suggestions in
detail, forwarding it to me, and I will be glad
to expedite consideration.

phone you for an appointment, I made an attempt to see you at Hyde Park, but was

In November I decided to come to Washington, but after speaking to Harold Clay, he
stated that he would try and arrange an appointment as he intended seeing your
mother in New York. But he was unable to get to New York to arrange an appointment
for me.
I have quite a number of new suggestions which are altogether along absolutely new
lines to those I originally sent you and for which you thanked me before your el-
ection, by letter dated October 15, 1932. I cannot conceive of a speedy recovery
unless some of these primarily logical but simple factors are at least broached to
the public for digestion. The very slightest thought changes the tenure of a sug-

THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
But what is its origin? The Medal of the Immaculate Con-
ception, now more popularly called the Miraculous Medal be-
cause of the numberless miracles attributed to its efficacy, was

01 heavenly origin.
The brief statement of its origin is as follows: Early in the
year 1830, a young country girl-Catherine Labourè, entered the
daughters of Charity in France. It was during her novitiate at
Paris that, awakened from sleep and called to the chapel, the
6, 1934.
Blessed Mother of God revealed to her the Miraculous Medal
as we have it even to this day.
"The Immaculate Virgin smiled not only at Massabielle (Lour-
9'
des), that place SO rich in mercy and in wonders, but also when
she shed her divine graces through the Miraculous Medal, which
she herself deposited in the hands of the venerable servant of
God, Catherine Labourè."
The Medal is a miniature reproduction of the apparition of
the Blessed Virgin as she appeared to Venerable Sister Cather-
ine, of the Order of St. Vincent de Paul. On the face of the
Medal, oval in form, stands the Blessed Virgin Mary, crushing
with her virginal foot the head of the infernal serpent, encircling
in its folds the terrestrial globe. Mary's hands, stretched forth
and lowered, are projecting luminous rays upon the earth be-

Immaculate Conception came in an interior voice that was
heard in the soul of this Holy Nun. It said: "Behold the symbol

INDULGENCE ATTACHED TO THE INVOCATION
By a Rescript of the S. Cong. of Indulgences March 15, 1884,
His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, grants An Indulgence of One
Hundred Days, once a day, to all the faithful who, with contrite
hearts, recite the Invocation engraved upon the Medal:
O Mary, Conceived without sin, Pray for us who have recourse
ely yours,
to Thee.
Let us give, let us spread everywhere this sweet consoling
image of Mary conceived without sin. Let us give this Medal
to little children that Mary may preserve their innocence, to
young girls as a safeguard amid the dangers that surround them,
to fathers and mothers as a benediction to the paternal roof, to
the afflicted as a balm to soothe their sorrows, to souls subject
to temptation and trial, to the aged and infirm, to the dying-
to sanctify their last sighs and combats. Let us give it to all,
in the firm confidence that no one will ever wear in vain the
Medal of her to whom the Church applies these words of
H. HOWE
Scripture: He who will have found me, will find life, and he
will obtain salvation from the Lord."

Mr. President;
I am taking the liberty of mailing you together with this
letter, a book entitled " MONEY AND THE WORLD CRISIS", written
by Dr. Michele De Ceglie.
Dr. De Ceglie, an authority in economic problems, expresses me
his great desire to have a copy of this book reach you, and begs
me to help me in this delicate task.
It is my sincere belief, in complying with his desire, that this
book is worthwhile, and that you may find in it some interesting
points. I believe also, that you might be interested to read
how your policies are frankly discussed and viewd over sea, in
a Country that also is striving to reach an equilibrium most
beneficial to the most of the people.
The book is written in Italian language; I can not afford a
proper translation, but I hope that the great facilities of
your office might have translated at least the most salient
points.
My daring, Mr. President, is inspired to the greatest faith
and admiration in the fairest and greatest President that ever
lived in these U.S. of America.
With the highest esteem, I beg to remain,
Respectfully yours

Dear Mr. Howe:
My colleague here, Dr. Abraham Myerson, eminent
psychiatrist, has just written a very interesting book titled
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY. If you think it likely that Mr. Roosevelt
might care to see a copy I would like to send a copy to him in
your care. If it would be just adding another volume to an his
already probably overburdened reading table I should not want
to bother Dr. Myerson to autograph a copy. It seems likely
however that such a book might prove of possible interest so
if it is agreeable to you I shall be glad to forward you a copy.
Yours very truly,
