Honorable President and Brother Knight.
It was suggested that you might be interested in
seeing and having a picture of the Float entered in the
Santa Barbara Fourth of July ",",parade by Castle Rock Lodge
#151, Knights of Pythias. Accordingly, we are forwarding to you
a photographin colar of the float as it appeared in the parade.
The float itself was decorated entirely with natural
flowers grown in Santa Barbara and deplets Uncle Sam driving
a team of animals represented by the Democratic Donkey,
and the Republican Elephant, with the descriptive worfis
in flowers # Let's all pull together."
The Order Knights of Pythias, standing as it does,
for the principles of true Americanism, adopted this theme
for its float. It was so well received by the general public
of this community, that we felt you should have in the
form of a picture that which would be difficult of
expressionin words.

Dear President Roosevelt:
Under separate cover I have just sent you a copy of one
of our recent books called REFUGEE.
Some of the comments we have received from prominent
reviewers are enclosed with my letter.
If, during the heat of the current election, you find
time to run through this book, I am sure that you will
be even more convinced of the rightousness of your stand
on national foreign policy.
Please accept this book with our compliments and the
assurance of our best wishes for your success in the
coming election.
Sincerely yours,
Bennard

Dr. Heinz Liepmann, author of Murder Made in Germany, Nights of
an Old Child, and Poison in the Air, says:
Please tell me what I can do to recommend Refugee. I think it
should be recommended. Of the many, many books I have read about
the last few years in Germany, Refugee is one of the outstanding
ones. The book should, I believe, become a great success because
it is written by people who were willing to die for the same
ideals for which we in America should live.
BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB NEWS, September, 1940.
This book has been inevitable. It is a straight account given by
a German refugee woman, Aryan, who is fully articulate, impassioned,
and at the same time objective, of one of the most moving and
revolting dramas that ever unfolded before the eyes of a whole
world
The general facts in Refugee are history, and Elli's
story is a cross section view of what happened to thousands--
but told with eloquence, coherence, and intelligence. It has the
ring of finality; this is the document. Every page is absorbing;
every reader will become one of the oppressed, policed German
population, and will comprehend how a strangulation process on
such a scale can take place.
Emil Lengyel:
I have now read REFUGEE and hasten to tell you what I think about it.
I consider myself a hard-boiled book-reader. Frankly, I meant to
read just enough to be able to judge the quality of the book. Instead
of that, I have read it from beginning to end.
I am not quite sure about the reason of the fascination this book
has for me. Probably, it is its honesty. Or perhaps it is the en-
gaging qualities of its main characters. This might well be the story
of two Americans, if it should "happen here". Or perhaps I like the
book so much because it has that touch of greatness which defies
cold analysis. At any rate, I like it and it will occupy a place
of honor in my library.
Clarence E. Pickett, Executive Secretary, American Friends Service
Committee:
not a book filled with rancor and bitterness.
He who would
acquaint himself with the problems of the world will do well to
read this personal record, and who knows but that some day such
adjustment to a new life may be his destiny. Let him read this
book with due humility and reverence that he may develop some of
the same poise, reverence for inner values in life, and filial
dedication to his family and people.
RETAIL BOOKSELLER, September, 1940.
REFUGEE by Clara Leiser is another fascinating book. Apparently
authentic, told simply but impressively, this book should be widely
read.
Walter Lowen:
The avalanche of material on Germany has performed a good service.
It has made the right book on Germany so much more worth waiting for.
Such a book is REFUGEE, a true story of the average family under Hitler.
What Well-Known Writers and Educators said about
From:
Prentice-Hall, Inc.
70 Fifth Avenue
New York
REFUGEE
Thomas Mann:
I wish to thank you for sending me a copy of this remarkable book.
I read it with the very strongest interest I enjoyed it as a
very attractive human manifestation. For the American public it
might be most instructive so far as the incredible mean and bruval
character of the so-called National Socialism is concerned: so I
think one has to be grateful to your house for publishing this
moving document of our adventurous epoch.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher:
I've read "Refugee" and found it very moving, with an especial
quality of simple, personal sincerity which gives the unpretentious
story a real place of its own
William Lyon Phelps says:
It is a very remarkable book and is true--incidentally it shows
that two new novels, Mr. Skeffington by "Elizabeth", and "The Fire
and the Wood," by E.C. Hutchinson, have not exaggerated at all the
abominable cruelty of the concentration camps. It is almost as
if Hutchinson, now fighting in the English army in England, has
read REFUGEE.
Louis Adamic, Editor of COMMON GROUND:
Refugee reached me three days ago in South Dakota. I read it with
great interest, and it seems to me an inspiring affirmation of the
essential worth and dignity of human beings that must ever survive,
even in the face of terror and brutality. It is also an affirmation
of the promise America has always held for the oppressed peoples of
the world. We need both of these affirmations today.
Guy Emery Shipler, Editor of The Churchman and member of the
Executive Board of the American Committee for Christian Refugees:
It ought to be an unbelievable book, but even those who know little
of the story of Nazism will sense the ring of sheer truth in every
word. If no other indictment of the Nazi gangsters had ever been
made, this would be sufficient to stamp them for all time.
Wythe Williams:
This lucid recital of Nazi terrorism is a most important con-
tribution against dictator government. A warm and human story --
a powerful analysis of Hitler methods and a grim warning to America.
Dr. Daniel A. Poling, Editor-in-Chief of the Christian Herald:
This personal account of two "Aryan" Germans whom Nazi brutality
failed to crush is, I think, a book unique in American publishing
history. The details are incredibly horrible; Nazi Germany is
revealed as in no previous volume I have read, but the triumph
of the human spirit is the final and supreme note.

I am sending you, herewith, a copy of our
q-p
edition of THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS by Erskine
Childers, which has just been released.
Written nearly forty years ago, this story,
as you may recall, anticipates, with uncanny

invasion of England. In view of the timeliness
of its subject matter, I think that THE RIDDLE
OF THE SANDS will probably be of special inter-

Dear Miss LeHand:
At the suggestion of Mrs. John Boettiger's secretary we are
enclosing our letter to the President herewith for your
attention.
The NESTLE DOWN comfort, which we forwarded yesterday by
Railway Express, was discussed with Mrs. Boettiger before
it was made up. If this action meets with the approval
of the President, there are certain other data regarding
the use and care of the comfort which we wish to send
upon your request.
We sincerely hope this matter will be accepted as a token
of our admiration for the President, and that he, as one
other owner of a like comfort wrote, "get two nights rest
in one. 11

Washington, D.C.
Mr. President:
After consulting Mrs. John Boettiger we have forwarded by
Railway Express a "NESTLE DOWN" goose down comfort for your
personal use.
We are doing this for two reasons. First we feel that if
we can lighten the burden of the office you hold by making
the rest hours of the day more efficient we have done at
least a little to share this burden. Second, hope that if
the comfort is found as good as we believe it is, you will
inform us how we may best bring this aid to rest to the re-
lief of infantile paralysis sufferers.
This type of comfort construction is original with us. It
was concieved while the writer was suffering from a back
injury, and is revolutionary in its principles. The top
and bottom coverings are not stitched together in the man-
ner of ordinary comforts, but are separated by partitions.
This prevents thin spots at the seams, and provides the un-
usual NESTLE DOWN feature of Air-Plus-Down insulation.
This construction is unique because of its great flexibili-
ty, which, in addition to eliminating undue strain on the
seams and material, causes the comfort to "nestle down"
around the sleepers body, and aids the comfort to stay on
the bed. Because of the generous size of the comfort it
can be tucked under both at the sides and the bottom.
The down is blown into separate tubes, which in turn are
inserted into the channels formed by the partitions. This

is a very economical feature, since, in case of a rent or
tear in the material, or if you wish to have the covering
renewed, this can easily be accomplished with practically
no loss of down.
This firm is very small, owned solely by the undersigned,
and as yet not incorporated. Its business principles are
built on a genuine desire to produce high quality merchand-
ize, and to do some good. All our products have been de-
veloped on these basic ideas. For example, our down fil-
led flying suits will, when finances permit, be fire re-
sistant. This will be accomplished by using a down sub-
stitute and covering material which in themselves are fire
resistant. This will save lives of our defense forces
and in commercial aviation.
The fact that we have sent you, Mr. President, one of our
comforts, is not a publicity stunt, but rather to prove
our point to the most important and vitally interested per-
son in this country. If our desire to be of some service
to you personally is proven through this method we are con-
vinced it will also be the quickest way of reaching our
goal of being of service to many.
We are, of course, not using this matter for publicity
without direct permission.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover (parcel post) I
have taken the liberty - and the pleasure, of sending you
a so called "Electric Reader".
Many people have found this to be of some
use in map reading and especially in dark places, and I hope
you may find some use for it, although I imagine you are
very much overcrowded with all kinds of "gadgets".
I wish you all the joy and beauty that
the All Mighty and a just people can bestow upon you and your
leadership, now, and in the days to come.
Cordially yours,
