McIntyre, Assistant Secretary to the President, The White House. - 2 - I see no objection to the President accepting the two cans of green tea offered to him personally. I doubt the wisdom, however, of accepting the additional twenty cans of tea for distribution among the President's "official family".

May I suggest that the matter be handled along that line, namely, that the President will be glad to accept the two cans of tea personally, but that the other be "sidetracked".

A. Le Hand Secretary to the President Washington, D. C. Thats My dear Mr. Le Hand: mahily Your kind letter of the 19th instant, was indeed gratifying, to put it mildly. May I however, ask your kind indulgence to read the sentiments of my inner feelings and desires. I fully realize that the President, re- ceives great quantities of letters and gifts daily. But for one to expect a personal answer or acknow- ledgment to a letter or a gift, would be absurd. In my case however, I feel it to be different, for the reason that my token to the President, is not a photograph, etching or struck up in the ordinary 11 and usual manner of tokens. I accomplished my desired results of this composition, only after three months of undivided efforts and concentration with my (engraver's) tools, and so would greatly appreciate a personal acknow- ledgment from the President. I desire that this personal letter of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the President of these United States of America, to remain with my heirs, after my passing from this Earthly Stage. I do not only attach this great sentiment to a letter from the President, because he is the President of these United States of America, but also because of his greatness, as a Man. I trust you will give my letter your valued consideration, I am Very respectfully yours, Charles Namiot P. S.
