My dear Friend:

      Just listened to the address given by your dear husband, our wonderful President. During the presidential campaign of 1932 we had in our home a darling little girl, three years old. My husband and I were great admirers of the Dem. candidate and so Delores had to listen to much talk about the great man who we hoped would be our next Pres. We are Lutherans and she is a Catholic so you'll get quite a thrill out of what I'm about to tell you now. That fall Judge Karel of Mil. sent me a fine picture of our beloved President, which I placed in our Public Library. When I received this fine picture my dear mother (who has since been called Home) said to Delores "Who is this man?" and Delores answered without hesitation "Why who else, but Saint Roosevelt!" The old saying goes fools and children often tell the truth and indeed we all feel if there ever was a Saint. He is one. As long as Pres. Roosevelt will be our leader under Jesus Christ we feel no fear. His speech this morning showed he feels for the "least of these." I am enclosing a snap shot of the dear little girl who acclaimed our President a Saint and rightly so. . . .

      We shall continue to ask our heavenly Father to guide and guard him on his great task as leader of the great American people.

      With all good wishes for you and your fine family I am yours most sincerely,

Mrs. L.K.S.

Dear Madam:

      I beg to inform you that I have been reading your writings in the Wichita Beacon and I must say that the whole nation should be enthused over them. I especially was carried away with the one on Old Age Pensions. It brought my mind back to the day of the Chicago Convention, when Mr. Roosevelt was nominated for the presidency.

      In our little home in Arkansas City, my family and I were sitting around the radio, to hear and we heard you when you flew over N.Y. and entered the great hall and when he spoke it seems as though some Moses had come to alleviate us of our sufferings. Strange to say when he was speaking to see the moisten eyes and deep feeling of emotions that gave vent to his every word and when you spoke then we knew that the white house would be filled with a real mother to the nation.

      I am, or glad to say in this thought you have not failed us, you have visited the slums, the farms, and homes of your people, and formed first handed ideas for their benefits. Oh what a blessing while you have always had a silver spoon in your mouth you have not failed to try and place one in every mouth in the land and when I read in the Beacon your brilliant ideas of the Old Age Pensions. You said the only thing lacking was the way to do it. So I said the first lady is seeking a way to help us and so let us help her to find it. . . .

      Dear Madam, I am afraid to write more to you at this time as is this is my first letter to the lady of the land as the others did not seem to be interested in the welfare of the people. Wife and I pray continually to God for your success. Every time the news boy hollers Extra our hearts are filled with fear that something has happened to the president, but as we go marching on to higher hills of prosperity through the new deal we are hoping and working to that point that all will be well. But one thing I was just about to forget I think that the home building program should be furnished means for back taxes included for repairs and etc. As many places are handicapped to get loans from government on account of being back taxes. Our heart in hand is ever with you and the Pres. To carry on.

Respectfully Yours
P.F.A. [male]
