One copy of a letter published by Ben Whitehurst to Franklin D. Roosevelt. The letter was published in a book "Dear Mr. President" which compiled letters sent to the White House. The book was published in 1937. Frank White copied this letter from the book and sent it to L. Jean White with his December 29, 1944 letter. The letter itself concerns a person who received a thousand dollar check for not raising hogs, and the author is asking for advice on how to get in the market for a non-hog-raising supplement of his own.
