My dear Mr. President: --
948
Although a little late, permit me to congratulate you
on your very successful second inauguration and your late Natal
TA
Day - may you have many happy returns. I do not know of a better
way to express myself at this time than to repeat a part of my
note to you of March 5, 1933, reading as follows: --
"Your unique position will give you much
power for the creation of good or ill. I am sure,
however, that the results will always be found with
the former.
Of course, there has been much done but, yet, there is
also much more to be done. I am both proud and elated, and feel
well repaid for the small effort I have made in trying to go along
with your administration. Many of my sentiments have at least been
planted and taken root, I am sure.
I am certain, Mr. President, that you are more respected
and admired today than you were even before your last election. I
do not know of anyone who has come within the bounds of such respect
and fondness of the people of late history, unless it was your
illustrious relative, Theodore Roosevelt. But at the peak of his
popularity and the admiration he enjoyed, he left for a foreign land,
and when he returned the web in which all this admiration was held
was broken, and it could never be fully restored. The people are in
hopes that this misfortune can not occur to another, who would prove
to be the object of their confidence and affection.
The fact is, it seems that the nations of the world are
taking up and advancing a mode of direct government - they feel that
too many representatives are useless, and even a hindrance -- "Too
many cooks spoil the broth. ") to a good and fair form of government
of a growing intellectual populace.
There is a general opinion crystallizing with the masses
that this government should have a permanent head, for the following
reasons: --
First: -- To evade the loss of a year's time in every
four in interruptions in every form of business and industry, for
the purpose of electing a Chief Executive.
Second: -- If the New Deal should lose to another major
party the people will have to pay heavily for the short respite the
-2-
New Deal has given them and this new major party would take up
again a capitalistic form of government in all its details.
Third: -- The interminable and vexing contests of
capital and labor. If labor gains a 30-hour week at $15 a day they
will immediately contend for 25 hours and $20 a day. On the other
hand, if capital drives labor into a 60-hour week at $8 a day, they
would follow it up with a drive for 72 hours and $6 a day. This,
of course, is a weakness of human nature and it requires a strong,
resourceful man uninterrupted to make both sides maintain a fair
policy for all concerned and for the purpose of progress and real
civilization.
Fourth: -- If another party ever gains control again they
will take up the advancing and growing feeling the world over for a
one-man government to keep all contenders from disturbing or
interrupting them in governing the people with a Capitalistic form
of government.
It is amusing when we consider the opponents of the re-
organization of the Supreme Court, when stripped of the verbage of
their contentions has nothing left but their fear that the present
and future generations will lose their freedom. We could tell them
that 90% of the people of the country have been for the last half Century
more or less, placed in abject slavery by the remaining 10%, and that
future generations will be just as able and as intelligent as they
are and will take care of themselves, and if the reorganization brings
on any undue hardships the Supreme Court could be reorganized once
more and it would cause no alarm or harm to anyone.
I hope before many moons I will have the pleasure of address-
ing you as the permanent head of the Government of the United States.
I am taking the liberty of forwarding to you a picture of
yourself and one of Mrs. Roosevelt, with attached sentiments. I hope
if it comes within the range of your disapproval you will let me know
of it; on the other hand, if you can use some of them I would be
del ighted to furnish whatever may be required.
With my very best wishes for your good health, and a con-
tinuation of your most admirable administration, I am,
Sincerely

Dear Mr President:
A number of citizens of Halifax have jointly issued
an interesting new book, "First Things in Acadia", which
takes in Campobello Island. The original grant of the
island take was made at Halifax, which is described at
Page 198, in the short chapter, "First Canadian Tennis"
and it is hoped you will be able to steal a few miniutes
from superior duties to glance at the item.
The book is all tabloid, short, independant stories for
busy men to relax at random.
The attention of our "good neighbor" is also respectfully
directed to illustrations at pages 64 and 65. Mrs Roose-
velt and other members of the family may wish copies
of the book as souvenirs.
It is my great privilege and pleasure to offer you
a specially bound, autographed copy of "First Things in
Acadia", which is being delivered by messenger for
better protection, and it is the sincere wish of editor
and associates that Mr president will graciously
accept the volume, accompanied by our very best regards
for success in the current year.
I have the honor to be
Your Obedient Servant

As you know, the President expects to

a brief fishing cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. The
exact date of his return to Washington is not defi-

Naturally, upon his return his appointment calendar
will be unusually crowded and I do not see how it
will be possible to make any personal engagements
such as you suggest.
You might explain to Miss North and her
mother that it has been the policy here at the
White House during the past four years of the
President's administration for me to receive on
his behalf all gifts. If such a plan would meet
with their approval, I should be delighted to

a contest was conducted with substantial prizes
to the person suggesting the new name to be used,

accompanied by the best letter as to why the suggested

of every four suggested the name Roosevelt, Franklin
Roosevelt, or Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The winner of the first prize was Miss Betty North of
this city. Miss North is a debutante daughter of Col.
Earl North of the U.S. Army District Engineers stationed
here.
Miss North and her mother will be in Washington from
May 5 until May 20 and we would like very much to arrange,
if possible, to have Miss North present to President
Roosevelt a gold master pass key to our hotel named in
his honor
If you can aid us in this connection, it will be most
highly appreciated. I am also writing to Senator Pepper
and I am hopeful that you and Senator Pepper can arrange
for an appointment, and that it will be possible for you
and Senator Pepper to present Miss North to the president
at any time between May 5 and May 20.
I realize, of course, that you are burdened with business
but hope that you can find some time in the near future
to drop me a line in this connection.

gold key to the Roosevelt Hotel here in this city.
Mrs. North is the wife of Colonel Earl North, who

I understand that he was in charge of the Naval Hospital
back in the days when you and the President were identified
with the Navy while the President was Assistant Secretary.
I mention all of this on the chance that you prob-

They are charming people, and I will appreciate any
courtesies you may properly extend them.

Dear President:
Through your son-in-law, Mr. Boettiger, Seattle, Washington,
I have recently forwarded to you a Finnish scout knife, the
quality of which you may test on your next fishing trip.
With a keen interest I have followed your gallant fight
against a depression and economical disaster in this country.
I also have already observed your glorious victory, and as an
appreciation over the accomplishments won by your heroic fight,

Avenue, Astoria, Oregon, came
and left a hunting knife which he wishes
to have sent to Father. He has just come back from a trip to Finland
and had the knife made there especially for Pa. You will see that the
handle of the knife has a special inscription. Needless to say, I am
mailing it under separate cover. Will you take care of the 'thank you'?
A Mr. R. T. Wright of the Pomona Products Company of Selah,
Washington, presented me with a bottle of apple juice which he wanted
me to try out, as he said that if I liked it he wanted to send a case
of it to Father. It does taste good, even though there was nothing
much that I could have said to the contrary if it had tasted like C.O.,
so will you also keep an eye out for a case of apple juice, and take
care of the 'thanks' for me.
Sis was very much pleased with the little old book which
Father sent out to her. Tell him many thanks, and also tell him that
Buz is as proud as Punch over the stamps and the letter which came with
them. He informed me that as soon as he had them put into his stamp book,
he was going to return Father's stamp case to him with a request for
more stamps! Buz is still too young to have a real appreciation of the
history of the stamps, but needless to say, I am doing all I can to
encourage him, as some day he will get such a tremendous kick out of them.
John has given him the entire collection which he made as a boy, so that
forhis age Buzzie really has quite a valuable collection.
We are terribly thrilled at the thought of seeing Mother again
at the end of this month, and only wish that Father was coming along too.
People come to me all the time asking me to do all I can to persuade
Father to spend some time out here this summer. From a purely personal
point of view, I do wish that he could!
Our house here has turned into the gathering place for every
child in the neighborhood. Almost all of them go to the same public
school, and I have practically had to supply the neighborhood with roller
skates and pistols and explosive caps! We are miles away from any side-
walk, but have a concrete runway between the barn and the house, which
serves the purpose beautifully for skating.

Hon. Sir:
With all my respect and your permission, I take the
liberty to write to you this letter to ask if the two
bullets (relics of the Revolution) given by me to your
Sec. Mr. Macon to present them to your Excellent Father,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the U. S. A.
I was ill at that time, unable to give any records
about them; but today if you feel that it is necessary to
know about, I will explain to you as my memory goes well.
My husband, Arthur G. Rose, born in the year 1862 in
Jonea, Michigan, died in Cavite, P. I. in 1923, son of Natalian
Rose, died in Hagerstown, Md., Major in Civil War, 1812 M.C.
At the age of 16 his father died and Dr. F. Dorsey of Hagerstown,
Md. was appointed as Guardian and went to a Hilitary Acd. (I do
not know the name of it), from there was taken to see the
place of the last battle of Gettysburg, Pa. There is where my
husband found those bullets. I have them in my possession
before I was his wife; I have order from my husband to give
them to my son, Robert I., but I have lost him too. I like
to know if they if they weren't given to our good President
let me hear.
I am sorry for disturbing you, as I am also I can not
write good english language, but my dear husband he prohibited
me to go go school; for his name salce I shall stay at home.
I will have learn too much for him.
Today I am good for nothing, and have nothing, and crippled.
I have many priceless objects as I wish to put them in
a Museum of Art. Can you help me or send to the someone? I will

Dear Mac:
Accompanying this letter is a box of
half-dozen cravats bought in Paris by a wealthy
prominent citizen of Baltimore who has requested
me to present them to President Roosevelt. In
doing so I think that he would like me to call
attention to the following points:
1st, the donor desires to remain anonymous
at this time at least.
2nd, the donor has never held a federal
position nor is he seeking one.
3rd, the donor is sending the cravats
because he desires to show some of his great
appreciation for what the President has done for
him and his property.
4th confidentially, I do not think that
the donor expects the President to wear the cravats,
though of course, he will be pleased if the President
did so.

The President of the United States,
The Thite House,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
It gives me pleasure to send to you
today a copy of my new book on "Die Ent-
stehungsgeschichte des deutschen Genossen-
schaftswesens" (History of the German Co-
operative Movement).
I succeeded especially during the
time of my research in German archives in
proving that the work of the great German
democratic leader and founder of the Ger-
man cooperative movement Schulze-Delitzsch
was very much influenced around 1849 by the
success of the "Boston Protective Union" of
1844, the first American experiment in the
field of cooperative entreprise, while the
work of the famous English Pioneers of Roch-
dale was not known to SchulZe-elitzsch at
that time. Today the entire movement of
the American cooperative banks is based on
the principles applied for the first time
by Schulze-Delitzsch and Raiffeisen in Germany
around 1850,
We took the liberty, dear Mr. Presi-
dent, of including your picture in this book,
because we felt that under your leadership
also the American cooperative movement will
take the same development as in the European
countries.
Yours respectfully,
ofform. Ruhmer
Otto E. M. Ruhmer, Sc.D.,
Instructor at Long Island
University and Brooklyn College.

I do not know of a better\nway to express myself at this time than to repeat a part of my\nnote to you of March 5, 1933, reading as follows: --\n\"Your unique position will give you much\npower for the creation of good or ill. I am sure,\nhowever, that the results will always be found with\nthe former.\nOf course, there has been much done but, yet, there is\nalso much more to be done. I am both proud and elated, and feel\nwell repaid for the small effort I have made in trying to go along\nwith your administration. Many of my sentiments have at least been\nplanted and taken root, I am sure.\nI am certain, Mr. President, that you are more respected\nand admired today than you were even before your last election. I\ndo not know of anyone who has come within the bounds of such respect\nand fondness of the people of late history, unless it was your\nillustrious relative, Theodore Roosevelt. But at the peak of his\npopularity and the admiration he enjoyed, he left for a foreign land,\nand when he returned the web in which all this admiration was held\nwas broken, and it could never be fully restored. The people are in\nhopes that this misfortune can not occur to another, who would prove\nto be the object of their confidence and affection.\nThe fact is, it seems that the nations of the world are\ntaking up and advancing a mode of direct government - they feel that\ntoo many representatives are useless, and even a hindrance -- \"Too\nmany cooks spoil the broth. \") to a good and fair form of government\nof a growing intellectual populace.\nThere is a general opinion crystallizing with the masses\nthat this government should have a permanent head, for the following\nreasons: --\nFirst: -- To evade the loss of a year's time in every\nfour in interruptions in every form of business and industry, for\nthe purpose of electing a Chief Executive.\nSecond: -- If the New Deal should lose to another major\nparty the people will have to pay heavily for the short respite the\n-2-\nNew Deal has given them and this new major party would take up\nagain a capitalistic form of government in all its details.\nThird: -- The interminable and vexing contests of\ncapital and labor. If labor gains a 30-hour week at $15 a day they\nwill immediately contend for 25 hours and $20 a day. On the other\nhand, if capital drives labor into a 60-hour week at $8 a day, they\nwould follow it up with a drive for 72 hours and $6 a day. This,\nof course, is a weakness of human nature and it requires a strong,\nresourceful man uninterrupted to make both sides maintain a fair\npolicy for all concerned and for the purpose of progress and real\ncivilization.\nFourth: -- If another party ever gains control again they\nwill take up the advancing and growing feeling the world over for a\none-man government to keep all contenders from disturbing or\ninterrupting them in governing the people with a Capitalistic form\nof government.\nIt is amusing when we consider the opponents of the re-\norganization of the Supreme Court, when stripped of the verbage of\ntheir contentions has nothing left but their fear that the present\nand future generations will lose their freedom. We could tell them\nthat 90% of the people of the country have been for the last half Century\nmore or less, placed in abject slavery by the remaining 10%, and that\nfuture generations will be just as able and as intelligent as they\nare and will take care of themselves, and if the reorganization brings\non any undue hardships the Supreme Court could be reorganized once\nmore and it would cause no alarm or harm to anyone.\nI hope before many moons I will have the pleasure of address-\ning you as the permanent head of the Government of the United States.\nI am taking the liberty of forwarding to you a picture of\nyourself and one of Mrs. Roosevelt, with attached sentiments. I hope\nif it comes within the range of your disapproval you will let me know\nof it; on the other hand, if you can use some of them I would be\ndel ighted to furnish whatever may be required.\nWith my very best wishes for your good health, and a con-\ntinuation of your most admirable administration, I am,\nSincerely\nJ\nS\nR\nJames James S. 3,Racton yours, Rollow\nE\nThe Honorable Franklin D.

Today the entire movement of\nthe American cooperative banks is based on\nthe principles applied for the first time\nby Schulze-Delitzsch and Raiffeisen in Germany\naround 1850,\nWe took the liberty, dear Mr. Presi-\ndent, of including your picture in this book,\nbecause we felt that under your leadership\nalso the American cooperative movement will\ntake the same development as in the European\ncountries.\nYours respectfully,\nofform. Ruhmer\nOtto E. M. Ruhmer, Sc.D.,\nInstructor at Long Island\nUniversity and Brooklyn College."
