My dear Mr. President:
Under a separate cover I am having forwarded to you,
through my printers -- The Brentwood Printing Company, this city,
a copy of my recent work entitled --
"RESEARCHES IN CANCER: PART ONE,"
which I take great pleasure in submitting to both you and Mrs.
Roosevelt for your inspection.
It is a subject of world-wide interest, at the present
time. Likewise it is the most comprehensive topic within the whole
domain of medicine and surgery. You will also kindly note the many
years a study of the dread disease CANCER has been uppermost in my
mind.
Trusting the little volume may reach you promptly and
safely; and that you may find it of interest and of service, I beg
to remain,
Very truly yours,

Child Life in Pictures.
WHEN President Roosevelt looks over today's
new books he may or may not want to add
one of three titles tog the White House library.
First his eye will light upon "What of Tomor-
row?" by Ogden L. Mills. Then he will see
"Labor, Industry and Government," by Matthew
Woll. And then, perhaps, he will come to a
P.P.F.
book of photographs of school children called "Will-
ingly to School."
If he feels the way I do about these tons of books
on economic subjects he will welcome "Willingly to
School." Here is a book with a jacket and end-
papers practically inviting itself into your home. A
book about happy, carefree school children getting
an education in the things with which they come
into contact in their daily lives. In the words of
9-R
John Dewey:-"Education can connect school with
life. This book proves it."
"Willingly to School" describes, in splendid photo-
graphs, the work of the children of the Fox Meadow
School. The title page gives credit first of all to
Wendell MacRae, photographer, as it should. Com-
ments are made by the school staff. Claire T. Zyve
has directed the book and William H. Kilpatrick, of
Teachers College, Columbia, has written an apprecia-
tive foreword. Carolyn Macdonald has also pro-
vided comment.
The photographs show children meeting the milk-
man, playing games, observing birds and beasts and
fishes, bartering, drawing, feeding animals, engag-
ing in activities of all kinds and discussing them in
school. The photographs must interest every edu-
cator, for they tell more than many pages of de-
scription. Contacts are important-getting ac-
quainted with others and understanding how they
live and meet their problems. This has a definite
influence on the bearing of the child in school. The
educators call this "the integration of school with
life." (Round Table Press; $3.)

Dear Mr, Roosevelt:
It seems to me I have read of you indulging in the
play of bridge, and it may be that you are enough of a
Contract fan to be interested in knowing about a new game,
Attached is 8 reprint of an article appearing in the
February Bridge World about my game of Dual-Bid Percentage,
and inasmuch as it is based on strict Equity, through
equalization of all suits, it has occured to me that you
might enjoy examining it,
If Percentage should seem to offer a prospect
of pleasurable interest to you, I should be very happy
to receive your permission to send you a special deck
OF two, and a copy of the scoring and bidding system.
Yours very truly,
Grogi H Rodger

I am indeed sorry, however, that 1t is
not possible for the President to express an opinion

He also regrets that because of the tre-

My dear Miss Meredith:
The little volume of Lincoln addresses,
which you acknowledge under date of February 14, was addressed
to President Roosevelt but marked to receive Mr. Early's
attention in view of the fact that he had been the inter-
mediary between the White House and myself in a transaction
which this book closed. The President had been good enough
to acceed to amsuggestion of mine that he write and sign a
tribute to Lincoln for permanent display in our Lincoln Library.
By his further permission the tribute was given to the Press
on Lincoln's birthday. The action itself was all graciousness
and the expression in exceptional taste. The little book,
reporting a delightful occasion, participated in by Ambassador
Dodd among others, was sent the President in some small acknowledg-
ment of his fine courtesy. I shall, accordingly, appreciate it
if someone in the office will take occasion to drop it quietly
on his desk in passing with a brief word of our gratitude.
Yours sincerely,

My dear Mr. Ruesch:
Your letter of February twenty-
eighth has been received and I am sorry to
say that the picture to which you refer was
returned before your communication arrived.
Please be assured, however, that failure to
accept your gift did not indicate a lack of
appreciation by the President of the splendid
motive which prompted your desire to present
1t to him. He merely felt that he could not
deprive you of an opportunity to receive
financial assistance through the sale of your
handiwork. I am sure you will understand
and hope you will accept the Fresident's very
best wishes.
Very sincerely yours,
M. A. LeHand

My dear Mon. Le Hand:
Many thanks for your kind letter of
February the twenty-fifth.
J am very sorry to hear, that our honorable
President does not feel, that he can accept the picture
j have sent to him. May be the President feels that way,
because I had it insured for the mentioned amount. This
warvaly done to make sure, that the President get it. Or
because f said in my letter, that am an unemployed man
a friend of mine asked me, if of could make a picture
like that from a sketch, and he said, that he would
put up all the money, sa J could scud it to the President
New Mr. Le Hand, would you please ask the
President for me again to accept the picture please, or
if he does not like that kind of a picture, then kindly
to esecuse me for sending it.
J am sincerely yours
august Ruesch
