‎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

‎The White House Washington D. C. 1941. Acceptable with generational wear. Creases and several edge tears with age fade tide spots and marks. 10.5" 8" 1 pp. SIGNED "Franklin D Roosevelt". 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

‎Typed Letter Signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt to Colonel E. Lester Jones Regarding the U. S. Marine Band 1919‎

‎Washington: Navy Department 1919. Navy Department Letterhead plus a single blank sheet. 8" x 10 1/2. Fine with a few light surface wrinkles. Letter bears a date received stamp at top right margin and two holes presumably for filing along left margin with no loss of text. A fine 2 paragraph letter in which future President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his role as Assistant Secretary of the Navy gently denies a request from a founder of the American Legion for a part of the U. S. Marine Band to perform for the benefit of veterans at the New Willard Hotel in Washington just after World War I.<br /> <br /> "While this Department is heartily in sympathy with any movement tending to promote the welfare and interests of those who have served in the military and naval service of the United States during the war I very much regret to have to inform you that it will not be practicable to assign a section of the Marine Band to furnish music on the above-mentioned occasion owing to the fact that under the provisions of recent acts of Congress musicians of the Marine Band are prohibited from furnishing music at other than official engagements."<br /> <br /> Colonel Ernest Lester Jones 1876-1929 started the movement that became the American Legion and was head of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1915 to 1929. Notably he resolved the border dispute between the United States and Canada relative to Alaska. <br /> <br /> This interesting letter is boldly signed in black ink by the young and ambitious Roosevelt just two years before being paralyzed by polio.

‎Typed Letter signed from Kermit Roosevelt to Mr. Richard Danielson of The Sportsman dated November 8 1928‎

‎New York: Kermit Roosevelt 1928. Presumed single original copy. Single sheet typed on one side. Good. Format is approximately 7.25 inches by 10.5 inches. Stationery has Eleven Broadway New York printed at the top. Roosevelt Kermit is noted in pencil at the top right corner. Ink correction in the first paragraph. Minor soiling notes. Soiling and perhaps some adhesive on the verso. In this letter Kermit Roosevelt addresses having contracted for a series for The Sportsman willingness to consider writing 'something additional' and discussed Mr. Danielson's comments "on the polo situation" which Roosevelt generally agreed with but had some reservations about the criticisms of 'our men's sportmanship in actual play." Roosevelt commented that he was departing for India on the night of November 9th. Kermit Roosevelt MC October 10 1889 – June 4 1943 was an American businessman soldier explorer and writer. A son of Theodore Roosevelt the 26th President of the United States Kermit graduated from Harvard College served in both World Wars with both the British and US Armies and explored two continents with his father. He died while serving in the US Army in Alaska during World War II. After WWI Roosevelt went into business; he founded the Roosevelt Steamship Company and the United States Lines. In 1928–1929 Kermit Roosevelt and his brother Ted were members of the Kelley-Roosevelts Asiatic Expedition.

‎Roosevelt, Theodore‎

‎TYPED LETTER SIGNED WITH SEVERAL PENCIL EMENDATIONS FROM THEODORE ROOSEVELT AS ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY TO CAPTAIN CHARLES O'NEIL CHIEF OF THE ORDNANCE BUREAU DISCUSSING THE DISCRETION NEEDED BY THE NAVY DEPARTMENT IN THE WAKE OF THE EXPLOSION OF THE U.S.S. MAINE‎

‎Washington D.C. February 28 1898. 2pp. typed letter signed on Navy Department Office of the Assistant Secretary letterhead. Original mailing folds mild wrinkling light even toning. Very good. A rare look behind the scenes of the United States Navy Department after one of the most notorious incidents in its history an event which led directly to the Spanish-American War. On February 15 1898 as it sat in Havana Harbor just off the coast of Cuba the U.S.S. Maine exploded. The ship sank quickly killing 260 of the 400 American midshipmen on board. The Maine had been sent to Cuba to protect American interests following a rebellion that had broken out against Spanish colonial rule on the island. Almost immediately blame for the explosion was aimed squarely at Spain though the American government never said so directly. Still most Americans citizens as well as those in Congress laid responsibility at Spain's door. By April 1898 just two months after the present letter was written Spain and the United States were at war in Cuba. Theodore Roosevelt himself would resign his Navy appointment on May 10 1898 and head to Cuba with his Rough Riders.</p> <p>The explosion that sent the Maine to the bottom of Havana Harbor remains controversial to this day. The morning after the event Captain Philip R. Alger a math professor at the United States Naval Academy chemist and explosives expert put up a bulletin at the Navy Department claiming the explosion came from inside the Maine. Roosevelt immediately ordered Alger to remove the bulletin until an official inquiry could be performed. In the present letter written thirteen days after the explosion Roosevelt writes to Captain O'Neil head of the Ordnance Bureau and references the incident with Alger asking:</p> <p>".don't you think it inadvisable for Prof. Alger to express opinions in this matter Captain Bradford chief of the Bureau of Equipment has all along believed that Prof. Alger is absolutely in error in his views. He believes the explosion was not accidental. Captain Clover head of the Office of Naval Intelligence is inclined to the same belief. I should certainly feel that it was not advisable for either of them to make public any such statement and it seems to me that it is inadvisable for Prof. Alger to make these statements."</p> <p>Roosevelt then asks O'Neil to relate "your views about the matter unofficially" adding that "Mr. Alger cannot possibly know anything about the accident."</p> <p>That last sentence is curious. Conspiracy theorists might latch onto the notion that in calling the incident an "accident" Roosevelt is perhaps trying to put forth or propagate the mine theory less than two weeks after the affair. He is at least trying to control the message coming from the Navy Department as he writes:</p> <p>"All the best men in the Department agree that whether possible or not it certainly is possible underlined that the ship was blown up by a mine which might or might not have been towed under her; and when we have a court sitting to find out these facts it seems to me to the last point inadvisable for any person connected with the Navy Department to express his opinion publicly in the matter and especially to give elaborate reasons for one side or the other. The fact that Mr. Alger happens to take the Spanish side and to imply that the explosion was probably due to some fault of the Navy whether in the Construction Department or among the officers has of course nothing to do with the matter."</p> <p>The "court sitting" Roosevelt mentions here occurred the next month. A U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry ruled in March 1898 that the Maine was destroyed by a mine but did not identify a culprit. The mine theory prevailed in the century following the sinking of the Maine even after a second inquiry following the raising of the Maine in 1911. However in 1976 following the erosion of trust in the government and its military resulting from the Vietnam War a conflict accelerated by a naval incident at the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964 a group of American naval investigators led by Admiral Hyman Rickover concluded that the explosion on the Maine was indeed caused by spontaneous combustion in the ship's coal bins that ignited its stock of ammunition. It seems that Professor Alger was correct from the very beginning. We will not go so far as to ask "What did TR know and when did he know it" but the mine theory certainly seems like a fait accompli here and perhaps the story the U.S. Navy and the federal government as a whole wanted people to believe.</p> <p>Perhaps ironically and certainly fortuitously the explosion of the Maine helped precipitate the very war from which Roosevelt's legend grew to atmospheric levels. TR and his Rough Riders fought bravely in Cuba in the summer of 1898 and their exploits earned them a hero's welcome upon their return. Shortly thereafter in the Election of 1900 Roosevelt rode his notoriety from the Spanish-American War all the way to the White House.</p> <p>Roosevelt's original manuscript version of the present letter is held in his papers at the Library of Congress. H. Richard Dietrich purchased the present document for $287.50 from a Charles Hamilton auction on May 21 1965. It has remained in the Dietrich American Foundation since then. unknown‎

‎ROOSEVELT, THEODORE‎

‎Typed Letter Signed‎

‎New York: np 1913. First edition. no binding. Very Good. PASSIONATE AND IMPORTANT LETTER BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT DEFINING THE NATURE OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. The letter signed and typed by Roosevelt on letterhead of The Outlook magazine where Roosevelt was a contributor and associate editor and dated February 14 1913 is addressed to Progressive Party Committeeman Henry Wallace and reads in full: <br /> <br /> The Outlook<br /> 287 Fourth Avenue<br /> New York<br /> <br /> February 14 1913<br /> <br /> My dear Mr. Wallace<br /> <br /> I have written a letter to Mr Watkins which I hope he will show you. Michigan is to elect a number of State officer and various county city and township officers this Spring. I hope we shall have a straight Progressive ticket put up in the State and in every city and township. I see in the press that the regulars of the Republican Party are endeavoring to absorb our representatives. Now the Progressive Party stands for principals not men. We have in our ranks very many ex-Democrats just as we have very many ex-Republicans. Our loyalty is due to both. <br /> <br /> 
The present Republican Party is under the absolute control of the men who stole from the rank and file of the Republican Party last June their right to their own choice for President when Mr Taft was fraudulently nominated; and he and his supporters Messrs Barnes Penrose Guggenheim Lorimer and company have no claim to the support of any honest man. The men who follow and support these men can have nothing in common with our plans and ideas of government. 

<br /> <br /> The Progressive Party was formed on principles which we believe to be eternal which will live long after the men of this generation have been gathered to their fathers. We are the spiritual heirs of Abraham Lincoln. The feat accomplished last election was an extraordinary feat. It is necessary to continue with the organization and to make a clearcut fight against both the old party machines. I earnest hope that you will make as hard a fight in Michigan as you know how for a straight-out Progressive ticket. Incidentally let me say that the unjustifiable action of the returning officer of Michigan in stealing away from the legally elected candidate in the Twelfth District his office should be used for all that it is worth. This action of itself shows that the Republican leaders in Michigan are not to be trusted in any shape or way and that their protestations of good conduct are worse than worthless. <br /> <br /> 

Wherever the Republican Party has had the opportunity since election as in Maine and Massachusetts it has put in office reactionaries men of the old machine men committed to the system of bossism in politics and privilege in business. In Michigan in the Twelfth Congressional District these men showed that they are still committed to the principal corrected by hand to "practice" of utter political dishonesty and to the breaking down of the power of the people in favor of the bosses. We are fighting for great principles and we are also fighting for honest citizenship against dishonesty in citizenship. We have a right to hope that Michigan will come to the front on this issue. <br /> <br /> I would rather that you did not make this letter public but if you desire that any letter shall be made public if you will write to me I will answer it along substantially the lines of this letter. <br /> <br /> Faithfully yours<br /> signed Theodore Roosevelt<br /> <br /> Background:<br /> <br /> The date is February 14 1913. The past year - the election year of 1912 - had been quite eventful for Theodore Roosevelt and for the nation. Tensions were high within the Republican Party after President William Howard Taft presidential successor to Roosevelt and fellow Republican failed to carry out the anti-trust crusade that Roosevelt had begun in his own presidential term. Infighting and hostility during the 1912 Republican National Convention in Michigan led to a major schism in the Republican party; namely the creation of the "Progressive" or "Bull Moose" Party led by Theodore Roosevelt the Party's presidential candidate. Although Roosevelt lost to the Democrat Woodrow Wilson he received more votes than the Republican Taft becoming the only third-party candidate in U.S. history to finish higher than third in a presidential election; it was because of the splitting the Republican votes between Taft and Roosevelt that Democrat Woodrow Wilson was able to seize the victory.<br /> <br /> During this tumultuous political moment Roosevelt reveals in this letter to Progressive Party Committeeman Henry Wallace what he views to be the essence of the Party and outlines a plan for the future. <br /> <br /> Defining the Progressive Party:<br /> <br /> Roosevelt emphasizes that the Progressive Party stands for "principles not men" noting specifically that "The Progressive Party was formed on principles which we believe to be eternal which will live long after the men of this generation have been gathered to their fathers. We are the spiritual heirs of Abraham Lincoln." This a critical point for Roosevelt as he tries to elevate the Party beyond the personalities of the moment. It also allows him to underscore the corrupt nature of the Republican Party which as opposed to the Progressives according to Roosevelt has become a reflection of the self-interest of a handful of powerful men. <br /> <br /> Roosevelt then names some of these men to further illustrate their influence and to reinforce one of his major themes: that it is essential for the Progressives to work hard to restore power to the citizens. <br /> <br /> On the failures of the Michigan convention and his plan for the future of the Party:<br /> <br /> "Michigan is to elect a number of State officer and various county city and township officers this Spring. I hope we shall have a straight Progressive ticket put up in the State and in every city and township. I see in the press that the regulars of the Republican Party are endeavoring to absorb our representatives."<br /> <br /> One of the central tenants of the Progressive platform was a restructuring of American politics through the growth and development of localized parties to best foster direct links between government officials and public opinion. It was because of this focus on local governments that Progressives set their sights on securing seats within state county city and other municipal legislatures. After Roosevelt's loss in the 1912 national election Progressive success in smaller races became all the more important to the future of the Party.<br /> <br /> On the legacy of the Progressive Party:<br /> <br /> "We are fighting for great principles and we are also fighting for honest citizenship against dishonesty in citizenship."<br /> <br /> 
Many have suggested that the rise of the Progressive party seemed a logical next step after the Gilded Age a period of American history in which laborers suffered at the hands of an elite and wealthy few. The Progressive Party Platform of 1912 of which Roosevelt was one of its many co-authors asserted that "In accordance with the needs of each generation the people must use their sovereign powers to establish and maintain equal opportunity and industrial justice to secure which this Government was founded and without which no republic can endure." 

While Roosevelt himself was unable to reach federal office under the Progressive Party name the reforms promoted by himself and his colleagues had lasting impacts on American society culture and economy. Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" drew heavily on the Progressive Party's platform and many of the goals of the Progressive party--anti-trust regulation labor reform health care reforms and crackdowns on political corruption--were all ideas that developed well beyond Roosevelt's era influencing even the politics of today.

<br /> <br /> New York: February 14 1913.  Written on three sheets of Roosevelt's letterhead "Office of Theodore Roosevelt" from the weekly magazine The Outlook which Roosevelt edited beginning in 1911. Housed in a custom presentation folder. Bearing one holographic correction changing "principle" to "practice". Almost invisible repairs to extreme margins of third leaf not near text. With a large strong Roosevelt signature. <br /> <br />

‎Roosevelt, Theodore Jr.‎

‎Typed Letter Signed "Theodore Roosevelt" to Seymour Halpern‎

‎New York 1929. 1p. on personal "Oyster Bay" letterhead. 8vo. Old folds toning minor chipping at the bottom of the page not affecting text else fine. 1p. on personal "Oyster Bay" letterhead. 8vo. Reading in part: "I don't know what the most perilous time in my life was but I suppose it must have been various times during the war. The hunting trip that was the biggest success was the one we have just finished because on that we got the giant panda which has never been shot by a white man before. Neither Kermit nor I really enjoy fully exploring or hunting unless we are together. On this last expedition he had to leave two months before the end and I missed him greatly." <br /> <br /> The eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt and First Lady Edith Roosevelt Theodore “Ted†Roosevelt III known as Theodore Jr. grew up listening to his father’s stories of wars and great battles and the expectations that every man should do his part. After graduating from Harvard Roosevelt launched a successful career in investment banking. At the outbreak of WWI he volunteered to be one of the first American soldiers to go to France serving as a battalion commander with the First Division where he was gassed and wounded at Soissons in 1918. After the war he served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy Governor of Puerto Rico and Governor-General of the Philippines. In the 1930s he reentered the business world becoming Chairman of the Board of American Express and Vice President of Doubleday Books. Despite arthritis brought on from injuries of the previous war and a serious heart condition that Roosevelt hid from his superiors he returned to active military duty in WWII and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. A cane in one hand a pistol in the other Roosevelt led his troops into action in North Africa Tunisia and the invasion of Sicily where he was cited for “showing complete contempt for personal danger.†His insistence on leading his men from the front culminated in June 1944 when he led the first wave of troops ashore at Utah Beach on D-Day during the invasion of Normandy. After being one of the first men on the beach Roosevelt discovered that they had landed south of their objective. He personally reconnoitered the area and returned with a revised plan of attack famously declaring that “We’ll start the war from right here.†Roosevelt adroitly directed troops to their new objectives remaining cool under intense fire and inspiring confidence in his men. When asked to name the single most heroic action he had ever seen in combat General Omar Bradley replied that it was “Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach.†Roosevelt died of a heart attack in France a month after the Normandy landings. He received the Medal of Honor which was awarded posthumously for his actions on D-day. unknown‎

‎ROOSEVELT, ELEANOR‎

‎TYPED LETTER SIGNED‎

‎Washington D.C. 1943. n/a. Very Good. MAGNIFICENT WARTIME LETTER BY ELEANOR ROOSEVELT ON ACHIEVING LONG-LASTING PEACE. This letter signed and typed by world-renowned social reformer Eleanor Roosevelt on White House letterhead and dated June 28 1943 World War II is addressed to Mr. Jerome Darrow soldier and army newspaper editor and reads in full:<br /> <br /> The White House<br /> Washington<br /> <br /> June 28 1943.<br /> <br /> Dear Mr. Darrow:<br /> <br /> I am very glad to send you a message for Talkie-Talkie your weekly Army newspaper. <br /> <br /> I understand only too well how hard it must be for our soldiers who stand guard in the jungle and outposts which we are now occupying. <br /> <br /> I want to say to them that on every hand I hear how wonderfully the men are accepting the strange new conditions under which they live and how cheerfully they live through discomfort and boredom. I only hope that beneath it all they realize they are part of the great fighting force which can only win because each unit has done its part.<br /> <br /> I lived through the last war and its aftermath and therefore I am very much concerned about the future which we build as a result of this war. I hope that we have learned that peace is not something which comes because we sign a piece of paper. It is something which has to be built year by year and the piece of paper is only the foundation. It is the justice and the change for a better future for the whole world which will make our peace foundation stronger and our change to bring a continuance of peace in the future better. To do this for the world we must do it at home also and I hope that the boys in the jungle are thinking and talking of the things they wish to see done to bring about future employment a high national income and a healthier and happier people in the future.<br /> <br /> Good luck to all of you and may you all come back and work for peace and feel that you are building something constructive when this victory is won.<br /> <br /> Very sincerely yours<br /> signed Eleanor Roosevelt <br /> <br /> The date is June 28 1943. Finally the tide of the war was starting to turn and Americans could see an end to this very bloody and very prolonged conflict. "The Battle of Midway June 3-6 1942 which was fought almost entirely with aircraft was a World War II naval battle in which the United States destroyed Japan's first-line carrier strength and most of its best trained naval pilots. Together with the Battle of Guadalcanal August 1942-November 1943 the Battle of Midway ended the threat of further Japanese invasion in the Pacific" Encylopedia Britannica .<br /> <br /> Yet as so meaningfully articulated by Eleanor Roosevelt in this letter the work--to better the post-war lives of Americans and to achieve a long-lasting and effective peace--would continue long after the fighting was over.<br /> <br /> On boosting soldier's morale and the return to normalcy <br /> <br /> "I only hope that beneath it all they realize they are part of the great fighting force which can only win because each unit has done its part . I hope that the boys in the jungle are thinking and talking of the things they wish to see done to bring about future employment a high national income and a healthier and happier people in the future."<br /> <br /> Perhaps one of Roosevelt's most enduring legacies of her wartime work was her commitment to improving the lives of soldiers both during and after World War II. General Halsey a high-ranking officer at Guadalcanal was awed by Roosevelt's character and compassion upon her visit to his base and hospitals:<br /> <br /> "When I say that she inspected those hospitals I don't mean that she shook hands with the chief medical officer glanced into a sun room and left. I mean that she went into every ward stopped at every bed and spoke to every patient: What was his name How did he feel Was there anything he needed Could she take a message home for him I marveled at her hardihood both physical and mental she walked for miles and she saw patients who were grievously and gruesomely wounded. But I marveled most at their expressions as she leaned over them. It was a sight I will never forget."<br /> <br /> True to her words the First Lady's efforts were not merely excluded to wartime work. Postwar Roosevelt continued to press for worker's rights helping to ban racial discrimination in many industries a crusade which culminated in the establishment of the Fair Employment Practices Commision. She was also instrumental in helping FDR to draft the G.I. Bill of Rights a piece of legislation which helped to secure many educational and vocational opportunities for WWII veterans.<br /> <br /> On postwar peace <br /> <br /> "I hope that we have learned that peace is not something which comes because we sign a piece of paper. It is something which has to be built year by year and the piece of paper is only the foundation. It is the justice and the change for a better future for the whole world which will make our peace foundation stronger and our change to bring a continuance of peace in the future better." <br /> <br /> Just as Roosevelt's work with soldiers extended well-beyond the end of World War II so did her humanitarian work. Even after her position as First Lady ended and official peace negotiation had long concluded Roosevelt continued to push for peace with the help of the United Nations. The sense of unfulfillment or more specifically of an unfulfilled peace is as clearly discernable in her writing after WWII as it is in the 1943 letter to Mr. Darrow.<br /> <br /> In the November 13 1946 edition of her daily syndicated newspaper column My Day she explains that "in the United Nations we have set up the machinery for creating a climate in the world in which peace can grow. However just as I have sensed for many years that Armistice Day did not have the meaning for the mass of our people that it should have if we were going to preserve peace so I feel now that this is not yet a day on which we dedicate ourselves to living and working along the lines which will make peace possible throughout the world." <br /> <br /> After FDR's death she remained at the nucleus of American and global politics for two more decades. "In 1946 President Harry S. Truman appointed her as a delegate to the United Nations the institution that she believed to be her late husband's most significant legacy to the world. She served as chair of the United Nations Human Rights Commission and with her unique blend of grandmotherly tact and political realism helped hammer out the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights enacted by the General Assembly in 1948. She was now routinely hailed as "the First Lady of the World" American National Biography.<br /> <br /> In fact Roosevelt did write a piece for Jerome Darrow's one-man newspaper "Talkie-Talkie". An excerpt from Darrow's hometown newspaper reports that "the editor Jerome Darrow has perked things up by getting famous people to write their innermost thoughts straight to his G. I.'s. Groucho Marx Eleanor Roosevelt Charlie McCarthy Wendell Willkie Grantland Bice and Betty Grable have already taken advantage of this splendid opportunity" Ironwood Daily Globe. <br /> <br /> This document is noteworthy for its wartime date as well as its provocative content. A truly rare letter that so stirringly sums up Roosevelt's seemingly simple but actually complicated wish: peace.<br /> <br /> Washington D.C.: June 28 1943. Quarto one page on White House stationery. Signed in ink at the end of the letter. Usual folds light toning and a paperclip impression to the top edge otherwise in fine condition. An important piece of correspondence by the "First Lady of the World.". unknown‎

Written just two months after being struck by polio at his summer home at Campobello Island Roosevelt writes on October 5 1921 to Henry Waring Chadeayne Orange County lawyer and politician: <br /> <br /> My dear Mr. Chadeayne:<br /> <br /> I appreciate very much the action of the Democratic County Committee of Orange County in directing you to convey their sympathy to me.

Roosevelt<br /> <br /> By October 5 1921 the outlook for Roosevelt looked bleak. He was already suffering from paralysis with little hope for improvement yet from the beginning Roosevelt fought with extraordinary resolve to overcome any limitations caused by his disease. And get "back in the game" he did becoming governor of New York in 1929 and of course U.S. President from 1933 to 1945. <br /> <br /> Though written on Roosevelt's Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland's personal letterhead it is almost certain that the letter was typed either at Presbyterian Hospital or else dictated by him and brought to him for signing for on October 5 1921 Roosevelt was still in the hospital he was released on October 28th. <br /> <br /> Note: This is one of the earliest Roosevelt letters referencing his disease that has ever been on the market. <br /> <br /> New York: October 5 1921.

‎Roosevelt, Theodore‎

‎Typed Letter Signed‎

‎Oyster Bay NY: 1916. To Judge John Allison of Nashville Tenn 1 page large 8vo. in response to his letter urging him to run for the Presidency. Mindful that his 1912 Presidential run under the Bull Moose standard had virtually handed Woodrow Wilson the election the former President had not actively sought the 1916 nomination despite such strong encouragement. Six days after this letter was written Roosevelt was indeed nominated for President by the newly constituted Progressive Party. On the very same day the Republican Party nominated Charles Evans Hughes. In this characteristically candid letter Roosevelt reflects philosophically about his chances: " My Dear Judge That's a mighty nice letter of yours! But whether the politicians will nominate me at Chicago is more than doubtful. I am making thsi fight on straight national lines. On Memorial Day I made a particular request that I speak at the invitation not only of the G.A.R. but also of the Confederate Veterans for I intend to go down or up just as fate may decide under the standard of Americanism." After much soul searching Roosevelt declined the nomination not so much in favor of Hughes but because his overwhelming goal in 1916 was the defeat of the hated Wilson whose failure to assert American rights he found deplorable. Very Fine. 8vo.‎

‎Roosevelt, Theodore‎

‎Typed Letter Signed‎

‎Washington D.C. 1897. TLS as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to author Arlo Bates on Navy Department stationery 1 1/2 pages 29 September 1897. T. R. pauses in his official duties to send a warm and enthusiastic letter of appreciation to a fellow author and reveals some of his strong prejudices about modern literature. In part: " Just a line to say how very much I have enjoyed your volume of essays just out referring to Batres's "Talks on the Study of Literature". "Cabot Lodge wrote me calling my attention to it and I owe him a debt of gratitude.It did me good to see the straightforward fashion in which you dealt with Maeterlinck Ibsen Verlaine Tolstoi and the decadents generally. I wish Howells could be persuaded to read and profit by what you have written! It seems to me however that both Meredith and Hardy in his latter books beginning with 'Tess' show distinct symptoms of the same disease although it takes very different form in the two cases." Later confessing his love for Longfellow and Sir Walter Scott and the romantic s he writes: ".I may be a crank about all this for I am extremely fond of a great deal of Macauley's ballad poetry in spite of all the fustian that there is in parts of it." He further admits to always having "a dreadful mental limitation about the.popular part of Robinson Crusoe and a good deal of 'Arabian Nights'". This letter is a revealing and wonderful expression of Roosevelt's passion for literature and ideas; and a poignant example of his unease over the erosion of the old Victorian absolutes in the face of the new cultural revolution he saw as morally ambiguous iconoclastic and cynical. Contains some corrections emendations and exclamations added in Roosevelt's hand. Near Fine. 4to. paperback‎

‎Roosevelt, Theodore‎

‎Typed Letter Signed‎

‎Washington D.C. 1902. As President to Edward North Buxton on White House stationery tipped to the rear flyleaf of Buxton's book Two African Trips. Buxton was a noted British politician and an ardent conservationist which explains Roosevelt's admiration and friendship. T.R. writes: "I have been delighted with your book. You are one of the most potent among the teachers and pioneers in the movement which will make the lover of big game and of the wilderness an instrument against instead of in favor of the destruction of both. As I grow older I do not lose my taste for hunting and I think my fondness for the wilderness increases; but I certainly disbelieve more and moe in butchery. I have taken the liberty of sending you a copy of a volume to which I contributed in which you will see that I preach somewhat the same doctrine. " He adds a holographic invitation for Buxton to be his guest at the White House. This letter is a wonderful statement of Roosevelt's complimentary identities as sportsman and conservationist. Buxton's richly illustrated book arguses for the creation of game reserves where hunters can enjoy good sport while at the same time protecting species against extinction. This was precisely TR's philosophy so eloquently expressed in "American Big-Game Hunting." The book shows some rubbing soiling and wear along the spine ends; contents are clean and fresh; newspaper review of the book from The Spectator 1903 attached to verso of 1st free end paper. The letter shows some light creasing but is nevertheless bright and clean with a bold signature. Very Good. 4to. unknown‎

In 1952 the Democrats had lost the White House to Republican Dwight D.

A supporter of Stevenson 71-year-old Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the delegates on August 15 the third night of the convention. In her address she harkened back to many of the themes brought forth by FDR touching upon Communism and poverty and quoting from his 1933 Inaugural: <br /> <br /> "It is true we have differences but everywhere in our country we know that today our differences must somehow be resolved because we stand before the world on trial really to show what democracy means and that is a heavy responsibility because the world today is deciding between democracy and Communism and one means freedom and one means slavery . Great leaders we have had but we could not have had great leaders unless they had had a great people to follow. You cannot be a great leader unless the people are great. That is what I want to remind every one of you tonight. You must be a great people with great objectives. I remember very well the first crisis that we met in '32 and I remember that we won out because the people were ready to carry their share of the burden and follow and carry through the words 'All you have to fear the only thing you have to fear is fear itself'."<br /> <br /> In the general election Stevenson and his running mate Estes Kefauver would lose in a landslide to Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. unknown‎
