Roosevelt, Edith Kermit, [Theodore Roosevelt]
Two 2 Autograph Letters Signed
Oyster Bay NY 1919. Pair of letters regarding the family's preferred portrait of the late president written within three days of each other. Autograph Letters Signed to Edward Bok. 2 and 3 pages about 7 x 4 1/2 inches; minimal wear and light toning. The 3-page letter is written on mourning stationary with black trim the 2-page letter on stationary letterhead 'Sagamore Hill'. These letters were written a mere three months after Teddy's death in February 1919.<br /> <br /> Content; Edward Bok the longtime editor of Ladies'' Home Journal was apparently planning an article on the late president and had written to Mrs. Roosevelt regarding the family''s favorite portrait. On 18 May she responded "the picture we like is the Lazlo portrait" but "it may not be entirely suited for your purpose. . . . Perhaps the Sergeant portrait in the White House would be better tho'' we do not care as much for it. The photograph which we all like is a head by Pirie MacDonald but perhaps you prefer a full-length picture." 3 days later she followed up: "If you write to Pirie MacDonald . . . he will send the one we prefer. . . . I am quite sure the Pirie MacDonald head will make a fine picture. It is a wonderful likeness." She refers to the well-known portrait which was used as a frontispiece to one of Roosevelt''s last books The Great Adventure published in 1919. She adds: "I do not know of any one of the family who is writing articles about Mr. Roosevelt. My sons are writing their war experiences which must be the foundation for the rumor of which you speak."<br /> <br /> Edith Kermit Roosevelt 1861 - 1948 was the second wife of President Theodore Roosevelt and served as the First Lady of the United States during his presidency from 1901 to 1909. Roosevelt was the first First Lady to employ a full-time salaried social secretary. Her tenure resulted in the creation of an official staff and her formal dinners and ceremonial processions served to elevate the position of First Lady. She and Teddy had five children and she of course helped raise Alice the orphaned daughter from Teddy's first marriage. One of her great contributions to the nation was bringing racial diversity exposure into the White House. "One cannot bring up boys to be eagles and then expect them to be sparrows." - Edith Roosevelt. unknown

Roosevelt, Franklin Delano (1882-1945). President of the United States.
TYPED LETTER SIGNED by FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT as President of the United States accepting the resignation of Solicitor General J. Crawford Biggs.
Washington March 14 1935. 1935. Fine. - Over 105 words typed on 9-3/4 inch high by 7 inch wide "The White House / Washington" embossed stationery with the "Whiting's Woven Linen" watermark. In his letter President Roosevelt accepts his controversial Solicitor General J. Crawford Biggs' resignation "I accept your resignation with very real regret. For nearly two years you have discharged your important duties with distinction and success". Praising Biggs' accomplishments in office FDR concludes "That you feel constrained to return to private practice of your profession I can well understand. You carry with you my best wishes and my sincere thanks for the public service you have rendered." Signed "Franklin D. Roosevelt". Folded for mailing with an indentation from a paper clip along the top else fine. <p>The North Carolina lawyer and politician James Crawford Biggs 1872-1960 helped to found the North Carolina Bar Association and later served as a judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina. He served as a special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General in filing charges against the Southern Pacific Railroad in California. As everyone thought that FDR would appoint Felix Frankfurter to the post of Solicitor General Biggs cleverly sought support of those whose opinion would have weight with the President as their second choice instead of competing with Frankfurter. Thus when Frankfurter declined Biggs was in the position of being next in line. A successful country lawyer his hoarse voice and high-blown lengthy presentations did not endear him to the Supreme Court. According to a Times Magazine article "Once in the midst of an hour's oration to the court Mr. Biggs was interrupted by Chief Justice Hughes: 'Mr. Solicitor General you have talked about 45 minutes already. You had better take the next 15 minutes telling us what you want this court to do.'" His subordinates bright young New Dealers resented his emphasis on how impeccably they dressed rather than taking more time in preparing the Government's cases. The March 25 1935 issue of Time magazine quoted the text of President Roosevelt's letter accepting J. Crawford Biggs' resignation. Washington, March 14, 1935. unknown

ROOSEVELT, Franklin Delano
TYPED LETTER SIGNED TLS
Albany NY 1 September 1931. Letter. Faint creases from mailing. Fine with a dark signature. Two-page letter as governor of New York with the first page on State of New York Executive Chamber stationery to Mayor John J. Fogarty of Yonkers NY regarding the hardships of unemployed New Yorkers at the beginning of the Great Depression. In part: "The present outlook is that next winter a great many families in the State will face serious privation unless they can be helped by substantial public and private relief. Unfortunately the employment situation is not improving. Many persons who have been able to keep their heads above water during the past two years of employment shortage will have come to the end of their resources when winter sets in. For my part as Governor of the State I intend to help in every way in my power. As Governor I shall join in a general appeal to the people of the State to continue their generous help to those whom unemployment is forcing to ask for relief to clothe feed and shelter their families. As Governor of the State I have insisted that all public works be pushed ahead as fast as possible to give employment." In conclusion Roosevelt asks Fogarty to return a questionnaire not present here. An excellent letter showing Roosevelt in action in the early years of the Depression from which he ultimately led America through when elected to the highest office in the land a little over a year after this letter was written. <br/><br/> unknown

Roosevelt begins the letter to Luther C. Steward President of the National Federation of Federal Employees by sending regrets that he is unable to attend the biennial convention. Then he includes encouragement that the organization is on track to fulfill their civic and organizational responsibilities to the Nation. The National Federation of Federal Employees NFFE is a national union currently representing approximately 110000 blue and white collar government workers across the United States. Ratifying its constitution on September 17 1917 NFFE was the first union to represent federal employees. Luther Corwin Steward took the helm of the organization shortly after its initiation and held the longest tenure of any NFFE President from 1918 until 1955. "Your letter is heartening to me because of the assurance that Government employees will accept their responsibilities in a spirit of service rather than self-seeking and will continue to bear witness to the fact that good government grows out of the will of the people and not by imposition upon the people." - FDR. unknown
