Roosevelt\nWhite House\nWashington, D.C.\nDear President Roosevelt:\nUnder separate cover I have just sent you a copy of one\nof our recent books called REFUGEE.\nSome of the comments we have received from prominent\nreviewers are enclosed with my letter.\nIf, during the heat of the current election, you find\ntime to run through this book, I am sure that you will\nbe even more convinced of the rightousness of your stand\non national foreign policy.\nPlease accept this book with our compliments and the\nassurance of our best wishes for your success in the\ncoming election.\nSincerely yours,\nBennard\nBernard F. Herberick\nPublic Relations\nPRENTICE-HALL, Inc.\nBH:jm\nDr. Heinz Liepmann, author of Murder Made in Germany, Nights of\nan Old Child, and Poison in the Air, says:\nPlease tell me what I can do to recommend Refugee. I think it\nshould be recommended. Of the many, many books I have read about\nthe last few years in Germany, Refugee is one of the outstanding\nones. The book should, I believe, become a great success because\nit is written by people who were willing to die for the same\nideals for which we in America should live.\nBOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB NEWS, September, 1940.\nThis book has been inevitable. It is a straight account given by\na German refugee woman, Aryan, who is fully articulate, impassioned,\nand at the same time objective, of one of the most moving and\nrevolting dramas that ever unfolded before the eyes of a whole\nworld\nThe general facts in Refugee are history, and Elli's\nstory is a cross section view of what happened to thousands--\nbut told with eloquence, coherence, and intelligence. It has the\nring of finality; this is the document. Every page is absorbing;\nevery reader will become one of the oppressed, policed German\npopulation, and will comprehend how a strangulation process on\nsuch a scale can take place.\nEmil Lengyel:\nI have now read REFUGEE and hasten to tell you what I think about it.\nI consider myself a hard-boiled book-reader. Frankly, I meant to\nread just enough to be able to judge the quality of the book. Instead\nof that, I have read it from beginning to end.\nI am not quite sure about the reason of the fascination this book\nhas for me. Probably, it is its honesty. Or perhaps it is the en-\ngaging qualities of its main characters. This might well be the story\nof two Americans, if it should \"happen here\". Or perhaps I like the\nbook so much because it has that touch of greatness which defies\ncold analysis. At any rate, I like it and it will occupy a place\nof honor in my library.\nClarence E. Pickett, Executive Secretary, American Friends Service\nCommittee:\nnot a book filled with rancor and bitterness.\nHe who would\nacquaint himself with the problems of the world will do well to\nread this personal record, and who knows but that some day such\nadjustment to a new life may be his destiny. Let him read this\nbook with due humility and reverence that he may develop some of\nthe same poise, reverence for inner values in life, and filial\ndedication to his family and people.\nRETAIL BOOKSELLER, September, 1940.\nREFUGEE by Clara Leiser is another fascinating book. Apparently\nauthentic, told simply but impressively, this book should be widely\nread.\nWalter Lowen:\nThe avalanche of material on Germany has performed a good service.\nIt has made the right book on Germany so much more worth waiting for.\nSuch a book is REFUGEE, a true story of the average family under Hitler.\nWhat Well-Known Writers and Educators said about\nFrom:\nPrentice-Hall, Inc.\n70 Fifth Avenue\nNew York\nREFUGEE\nThomas Mann:\nI wish to thank you for sending me a copy of this remarkable book.\nI read it with the very strongest interest I enjoyed it as a\nvery attractive human manifestation. For the American public it\nmight be most instructive so far as the incredible mean and bruval\ncharacter of the so-called National Socialism is concerned: so I\nthink one has to be grateful to your house for publishing this\nmoving document of our adventurous epoch.\nDorothy Canfield Fisher:\nI've read \"Refugee\" and found it very moving, with an especial\nquality of simple, personal sincerity which gives the unpretentious\nstory a real place of its own\nWilliam Lyon Phelps says:\nIt is a very remarkable book and is true--incidentally it shows\nthat two new novels, Mr. Skeffington by \"Elizabeth\", and \"The Fire\nand the Wood,\" by E.C. Hutchinson, have not exaggerated at all the\nabominable cruelty of the concentration camps. It is almost as\nif Hutchinson, now fighting in the English army in England, has\nread REFUGEE.\nLouis Adamic, Editor of COMMON GROUND:\nRefugee reached me three days ago in South Dakota. I read it with\ngreat interest, and it seems to me an inspiring affirmation of the\nessential worth and dignity of human beings that must ever survive,\neven in the face of terror and brutality. It is also an affirmation\nof the promise America has always held for the oppressed peoples of\nthe world. We need both of these affirmations today.\nGuy Emery Shipler, Editor of The Churchman and member of the\nExecutive Board of the American Committee for Christian Refugees:\nIt ought to be an unbelievable book, but even those who know little\nof the story of Nazism will sense the ring of sheer truth in every\nword. If no other indictment of the Nazi gangsters had ever been\nmade, this would be sufficient to stamp them for all time.\nWythe Williams:\nThis lucid recital of Nazi terrorism is a most important con-\ntribution against dictator government. A warm and human story --\na powerful analysis of Hitler methods and a grim warning to America.\nDr. Daniel A. Poling, Editor-in-Chief of the Christian Herald:\nThis personal account of two \"Aryan\" Germans whom Nazi brutality\nfailed to crush is, I think, a book unique in American publishing\nhistory. The details are incredibly horrible; Nazi Germany is\nrevealed as in no previous volume I have read, but the triumph\nof the human spirit is the final and supreme note.\n( See Over)\n\\\nMuseum 7\nDP.7\nmj\nP.\nW.\nO\nW\nP.P.J\nSTATES\na\nP\n9-P-1\n1\n8\nOctober 22, 1940\nS\nRespectfully referred to the State\nDepartment.\nP.P.F.\nEDWIN M.

DOWN SLEEPER ROLLS DOWN PADDED GARMENTS\nMAin 1510\nEATTLE, WASH., November 26, 1940\nThe President\nWhite House\nWashington, D.C.\nMr. President:\nAfter consulting Mrs. John Boettiger we have forwarded by\nRailway Express a \"NESTLE DOWN\" goose down comfort for your\npersonal use.\nWe are doing this for two reasons. First we feel that if\nwe can lighten the burden of the office you hold by making\nthe rest hours of the day more efficient we have done at\nleast a little to share this burden. Second, hope that if\nthe comfort is found as good as we believe it is, you will\ninform us how we may best bring this aid to rest to the re-\nlief of infantile paralysis sufferers.\nThis type of comfort construction is original with us. It\nwas concieved while the writer was suffering from a back\ninjury, and is revolutionary in its principles. The top\nand bottom coverings are not stitched together in the man-\nner of ordinary comforts, but are separated by partitions.\nThis prevents thin spots at the seams, and provides the un-\nusual NESTLE DOWN feature of Air-Plus-Down insulation.\nThis construction is unique because of its great flexibili-\nty, which, in addition to eliminating undue strain on the\nseams and material, causes the comfort to \"nestle down\"\naround the sleepers body, and aids the comfort to stay on\nthe bed. Because of the generous size of the comfort it\ncan be tucked under both at the sides and the bottom.\nThe down is blown into separate tubes, which in turn are\ninserted into the channels formed by the partitions. This\nNESTLE DOWN\nTRADE\nMARK\nREG. U.S.\nPAT. OFF.\nPRODUCTS\nPATENTS APPLIED FOR\nThe President, Washington, D.C. (cont.)\n2.\nis a very economical feature, since, in case of a rent or\ntear in the material, or if you wish to have the covering\nrenewed, this can easily be accomplished with practically\nno loss of down.\nThis firm is very small, owned solely by the undersigned,\nand as yet not incorporated. Its business principles are\nbuilt on a genuine desire to produce high quality merchand-\nize, and to do some good. All our products have been de-\nveloped on these basic ideas. For example, our down fil-\nled flying suits will, when finances permit, be fire re-\nsistant. This will be accomplished by using a down sub-\nstitute and covering material which in themselves are fire\nresistant. This will save lives of our defense forces\nand in commercial aviation.\nThe fact that we have sent you, Mr. President, one of our\ncomforts, is not a publicity stunt, but rather to prove\nour point to the most important and vitally interested per-\nson in this country. If our desire to be of some service\nto you personally is proven through this method we are con-\nvinced it will also be the quickest way of reaching our\ngoal of being of service to many.\nWe are, of course, not using this matter for publicity\nwithout direct permission.\nRespectfully yours,\nA.
