”My dear Dr. Jones:
Referring to my letter of January 4, 1918, concerning photographs of the Coast Survey Vessels, USS Surveyor, USS Bache and USS Isis, in which I promised to forward you photographs of these vessels as soon as received from the navy yards, I beg to inform you that I am having forwarded to you today, photographs of the SURVEYOR and the ISIS. I regret exceedingly not to be able to send you a photograph of the BACHE, as this vessel had left the yard before your request reached me.
Very respectfully,
(signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt
Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
Honorable E. Lester Jones, Supt.,
U. S. Coast & Geodetic Survey,
Department of Commerce,
Washington, D. C.”

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee.
