William C. Johnson, who attended the church where President Roosevelt took his first communion as a child, asks if the President would donate funds towards an addition on the church he now attends in Paterson, New Jersey. Johnson urges such a donation, based on the fact that Roosevelt still attends the Dutch Reformed Church in Washington and that Johnson is the Sunday School Superintendent at the First Reformed Church in New Jersey.
