Delivered at the commencement ceremonies of the University of Virginia President Roosevelt admonished Italy for declaring war on France and entering World War II. His remark that: "On this tenth day of June 1940 the hand that held the dagger was struck into the back of its neighbor" was initially opposed by his advisors but on the train ride to Charlottesville he changed his mind and made headlines.

‎Addresses of the President of the United States on the Occasion of His Visit to South America November & December 1936‎

‎Washington D.C.: United States Printing Office 1937. First edition one of 75 but probably one of only 7 in this binding. 97 3 pp. 1 vols. 4to. Bound in full light bown pigskin with metallic plaque of the Seal of the United States inset into the upper cover now with a fine patina pigskin doublures and silk endpapers. Fine. In quarter leather and marbled boards pull off slipcase. First edition one of 75 but probably one of only 7 in this binding. 97 3 pp. 1 vols. 4to. A sumptously produced White House Christmas book commemorating FDR's nearly month-long diplomatic mission to promote "hemispheric solidarity" with South America. The book was issued in an uncertain though undoubtedly strictly limited number with two issues--in full pigskin as seen here and half pigskin and marbled boards. The colophon calls for 75 copies with the more desirable full pigskin binding scheduled to run to 50 copies for distribution to South American dignitaries and the half-leather isssue of a planned 25 copies reserved for FDR's personal use and distribution at the holidays. Documents at the Library at Hyde Park suggest that the full edition of 75 copies was not achieved cf. Horowitz "Carmichael Collection" and that as few as seven were ever bound in full pigskin. <br/>This copy one of the "foreign" issues was nonetheless INSCRIBED to FDR's Sectretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau on a specially printed leaf: "To the Honorable Henry Morgenthau Jr Secretary of the Treasury of the United States" printed and inscribed below in the President's hand "From his old friend/ Franklin D.

‎AUTOGRAPH AND TYPED LETTERS FROM FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT CONCERNING THE FOUNDING AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF WARM SPRINGS GEORGIA‎

‎Warm Springs Ga 1928. 8pp. in Roosevelt's hand 10pp. typed including 7pp. on Warm Springs letterhead. Letters have been hole-punched and bear marks from previous stapling. Half-inch tear to one of the typed pages and some chipping to 3 pages of memos. In a half red morocco slipcase. A small but exceptional collection of memos and drafts providing rare insight into how FDR ran the Georgia Warm Springs a Georgia resort that he took over and developed into a retreat for polio sufferers after founding the Warm Springs Foundation in 1927. The collection comprises five parts: <br> <br> 1 Autograph manuscript not signed in FDR's hand on Warm Springs letterhead. 5pp. "To all patients.The Foundation is conducting the treatment and the patients come here for a definite purpose. The greater part of each day is taken up with the treatment and while there is no wish to curtail personal liberty or recreation it is essential to prevent fatigue and to work for the highest degree of health for all concerned. That is why simple rules are necessary. Many patients or their families will perhaps consider that circumstances warrant special exceptions to the rules - but this would soon lead to confusion and discrimination. That is why all patients whether of full age or minors whether living in the colony hotel or in private cottages are asked to live up not only to the letter but to the spirit of the rules. We are concerned with the greatest good to the greatest number." <br> <br> 2 Autograph manuscript not signed in FDR's hand. 3pp. "Memo." <br> <br> 3 Typed manuscript dated January 1 1928. 8pp. four drafts. "Rules for Guests Living in the Colony." <br> <br> 4 Typed manuscript dated July 7 1927 on Georgia Warm Springs Foundation letterhead. 1p. "Subject: The Comfort & Happiness of Patients" signed in type: "E.T. Curtis Mgr." Reading in part: "A prime reason for the operation of Warm Springs by the Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt and associates is the establishment of the Cure. The happiness of all patients whether in the Hotel in the Colony or in private cottages is of the first importance and will be so considered by all members of the staff." <br> <br> 5 Typewritten newsletter "The Daily Gossip" dated July 6 1927 on the verso of Georgia Warm Springs letterhead. Whimsical report of the disappearance and subsequent location of two of the resort's patients who happened to be young male and inebriated. <br> <br> Roosevelt acted as general manager in charge of setting policy during first year of the foundation the period during which these letters were written. He would ultimately meet his end there two decades later and it was subsequently renamed the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. This collection of documents outlines policies and reflects Roosevelt's enthusiasm for the resort's therapeutic capabilities from which he felt he had already benefited as well as his sense of great responsibility for visiting patients. Letters and documents including details of Roosevelt's time at Warm Springs are rare. unknown books‎

Copies 1 through 10 were not for sale. This is copy 10 one of the first 10 copies explicitly according to the colophon page not for sale.
