Dear Mr. Roosevelt: Under separate cover I am sending you a small book which I have enjoyed reading, and which I thought you might also enjoy. I am sending it to show my appreciation of the splendid work you are doing in our country today, and to also express my appreciation of being employed on the Federal Music Project. No one, who is not a musician, can understand just what adversity the musician has been called upon to face in the past few years, and what the beginning of the Music Project under the Government means to us. But you have been told by many, that it means work, work with the thing that we love, and that we have spent years and money in perfecting. I do thank you SO much for what you are doing in that way. May I say that no other Book, with the exception of the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, has impressed mesas this book "Equality" by Edward Bellamy has done. It seems to me to fairly shine with the teachings of the Golden Rule. To me it would be a splendid thing if our Country should be the first to grasp, and put into practice such a teaching. All of my life I have been a dyed-in-the@wool Republican, but I do want you to know that you have gained a firm supporter through the work that you doing for us, and for so many others.

I regret to advise, however, that while holding his present office, the President is pre- vented from commenting, in any way, on the merits of the many books, manuscripts, musical compositions, etc. that come to his attention daily. I feel sure, upon further reflection, you will appreciate the President's situation and will understand why he cannot do many of the things he would like to do.

Roosevelt The White House do 2 the Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: say Samuel Nisenson at the age of sixteen was my office boy. When Sir Charles Higham, my associate in London, was over on one of his annual trips, he met Samuel and noticed he Missy had a flare for drawing. Samuel made a drawing of Sir Charles which was SO good that Sir Charles urged him to quit his job as office boy and study art. Samuel took Sir Charles' advice and has made good as an illustrator. His first book, MINUTE BIOGRAPHIES, sold 165,000 copies. Since then he has published four books. Grosset & Dunlap invited him to edit, publish and illustrate THE CONSTITUTION AND THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Mr. Nisenson secured the services of Mr. George Durant Proctor to put the story of the Constitution and the Supreme Court into plain language. I take pleasure in sending you an autographed copy; I do wish that you would accept this book with my own and Samuel Nisenson's compliments-- and perhaps write me a letter, please, which I am sure will be helpful to Samuel Nisenson and the sale of his book. Thank you. Cordially, William H. Rankin, President P P 7. vah. RICHARDS, Frank G., Esq., C/o John B. Stetson Co., Philadelphia, Pa. May 27, 1936 Writes Col.

I had intended giving them to you on Saturday last but, as you know, we were compelled to leave the train rather hurriedly the night before during the time you were at Mr. Carter's, due to Mr. Jones' air accident. If you can conveniently do so, it will be much appreciated if you will hand the books to the President. Judge Scruggs said that he would be amply repaid for his effort in compiling these jokes, if the President got one laugh out of them. Very truly yours, July J.
