‎ROOSEVELT Franklin D‎

‎Typed letter initialed‎

‎1942. First Edition. Signed. ROOSEVELT Franklin D. Typed letter initialed. Washington 1942. Single sheet of light green White House letterhead measuring 7 by 9 inches; p. 1. $7500.Fascinating typed and hand-initialed letter written during World War II from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to his uncle the Honorable Frederic A. Delano thanking his uncle for sending a clipping on Tom Paine and stating that Paine's principal mistake was opposing Washington in the election of 1796.The letter typed on light green White House stationery dated ""August 25 1942"" and addressed to FDR's uncle the Honorable Frederic A. Delano reads in full: ""Dear Uncle Fred:- Many thanks for sending me that clipping about Tom Paine. I too have always had a keen interest in him. His principle mistake lay in his rather violent opposition to Washington in the campaign of 1792 i.e. 1796. Affectionately hand-initialed FDR."" This letter actually refers to the campaign of 1796 rather than the non-existent campaign of 1792; Washington was unanimously re-elected without a campaign in 1792. By 1796 circumstances were very different: two political parties had been formed. Federalists supported John Adams while anti-Federalists also known as Republicans and Democratic-Republicans supported Thomas Jefferson. In 1791 Paine had been avidly pro-Washington. In fact he dedicated the first part of Rights of Man to him. On May 6 1792 a similarly admiring Washington wrote Paine in part: ""My thanks for the token of your remembrance in the 50 copies of Rights of Man… I rejoice in the information of your personal prosperity.""Then in 1793 Paine was arrested in Paris. A long-naturalized American citizen he had fled to Paris from Britain where an arrest warrant had been issued due to the anti-government principles espoused in his work. While he came to France unable to speak the language he was eventually elected to the French National Convention. Paine gained enemies there. Viewed as a Girondist his political beliefs were a stark contrast to those of Robespierre and his allies. When Robespierre came to power Paine was arrested and thrown in jail to await execution. After a lengthy imprisonment and a lucky escape from the guillotine Paine's feelings toward Washington changed. He was deeply aggrieved asserting that there had been a conspiracy between Washington and Robespierre to imprison him. Without that rationalization Paine simply could not understand the betrayal of his best friend. He wrote him angrily without receiving any response. Ultimately Paine contacted his longtime publisher the anti-Federalist Benjamin Bache requesting that he publish his Letter to George Washington in 1796. In the publication Paine attacked Washington as ""an apostate or an impostor"" question whether he had ""abandoned good principles or whether he ever had any.""Roosevelt had a deep fascination with Paine. In fact in one of his most famous Fireside Chats on February 23 1942 during the darkest days of the war just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor began with a lengthy invocation of the Revolutionary War and quoted Paine ""These are the times that try men's souls…"". ""Paine enjoyed a brief revival in the 1940s after F.D.R. quoted The American Crisis… and an excellent two-volume set The Complete Writings of Thomas Paine edited by Philip Foner was published in 1945"" New Yorker.This letter was written to the Honorable Frederic A. Delano a railroad magnate who held numerous governmental positions including Vice Governor of the Federal Reserve colonel of the Transportation Corps during World War I receiver in the Red River Boundary Case Oklahoma v. Texas by the US Supreme Court member of the League of Nation's International Commission concerning opium production in Persia a member of the Smithsonian Institution Board of Regents trustee and chairman of the Brookings Institute member and chairman of the National Park and Planning Commission of Washington chairman of the National Resources Planning Board and chairman emeritus of the American Planning and Civic Association. Perhaps more importantly he was FDR's favorite uncle and much of their correspondence as well as some of Delano's papers reside in the FDR Presidential Library. Fine condition. unknown‎

Matted and framed with a photograph of Eleanor Roosevelt. In fine condition. Measures 11.5 inches by 16 inches. Eleanor Roosevelt was an American political leader who used her influence as an active First Lady from 1933 to 1945 to promote the New Deal policies of her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt as well as taking a prominent role as an advocate for civil rights. After her husband's death in 1945 she continued to be an internationally prominent author and speaker for the New Deal coalition. She was a suffragist who worked to enhance the status of working women although she opposed the Equal Rights Amendment because she believed it would adversely affect women. In the 1940s she was one of the co-founders of Freedom House and supported the formation of the United Nations. Eleanor Roosevelt founded the UN Association of the United States in 1943 to advance support for the formation of the UN. She was a delegate to the UN General Assembly from 1945 and 1952 a job for which she was appointed by President Harry S. Truman and confirmed by the United States Congress. During her time at the United Nations chaired the committee that drafted and approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

‎Eleanor Roosevelt Typed Letter Signed When she was US Delegate to the UN‎

‎Eleanor Roosevelt. Remarkable first lady as well known for her work as a social reformer as for her time in the White House. On her personal letterhead which lists the Park Sheraton Hotel as her address she writes a cryptic note to a Mr. Leiser: "Your letter did not reach me in time to send you the material you asked for by the 22nd." Typed letter with bold signature in deep blue fountainhead ink. May 22 1952. New York New York. 1 page. <br/><br/>This was written when Roosevelt was working as a delegate in the U.N. and serving as chairperson of the U.N.'s Commission of Human Rights so the mysterious content is likely related to her official duties. "I have asked the labor Department to send you the information" she promises. Eleanor Roosevelt remains one of the most accomplished first ladies in United States history and the energetic brisk tone to this letter belies just how many responsibilities she accepted on behalf of the vulnerable not just in America but also abroad. "I appreciate your kind words" she ends on a warm note before concluding "Very sincerely yours Eleanor Roosevelt". Dark brown dot in upper right corner; in near fine condition. unknown books‎

‎Eleanor Roosevelt White House Signed Engraving.‎

‎Rare signed White House engraving boldly signed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Framed; the entire piece measures 8.5 inches by 6.5 inches. The position of the First Lady has evolved over the centuries with her role first and foremost as the hostess of the white house and advisor to the President. With Eleanor Roosevelt's tenure as the longest-serving First Lady the role became increasingly involved in social activism and patronage for the arts. Roosevelt was succeeded by Bess Truman Mamie Doud Eisenhower Jacqueline Kennedy and finally Lady Bird Johnson. With John F. Kennedy's inauguration Jacqueline Kennedy became the youngest First Lady of the United States at the age of 31 and redefined the role by hiring her own press secretary to strictly control her exposure to the media. unknown books‎

‎<p>Group of 26 typed letters signed by twenty-one U.S. Congressmen/women and five U.S. Senators on the letterhead of the United States Congress and Senate and written to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt dated 27 January to 2 February 1940. One letter is addressed to Mrs. James Helm Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary</p><p>Also included is a government printed pamphlet: </p><p><i>82d Congress 1st Session…. House Document No. 137. Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications and Appendix Revised. May 14 1951. Prepared and released by the Committee on Un-American Activities</i> U.S. House of Representatives Washington D.C. octavo 166 pp. wrappers corners at front & rear dog-eared small nicks to wrappers.</p><p><b>American Youth Congress AYC</b></p><p> All twenty-six letters are written by members of the U.S. Senate 5 and members of Congress 21 and all acknowledge the receipt of letters of invitation from Mrs. Roosevelt inviting them to a meeting on 5 February 1940 at the White House where a discussion of a "Citizenship Institute" would take place with some of the members of the American Youth Congress AYC. The AYC had the idea of founding the "Citizenship Institute" and sought Mrs. Roosevelt's support.</p><p> The AYC was an early youth voice organization composed of youth from all across the country to discuss the problems facing youth in the 1930s. It met several years in a row - one year it notably met on the lawn of the White House. The delegates are known to have caused a disturbance when they attempted to access the United States Congress. They focused on the draft which was taking youths at age 18 off to war. At the time in the United States one was not legally an adult in any way until the age of 21. They also focused on the economic exploitation of youth.</p><p> The formation of the AYC is also widely seen as a precursor to the establishment of the National Youth Administration. Both the AYC and the NYA are notable for the support which First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt lent to them.</p><p> The pamphlet included in this collection <i>Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications</i> states that the "American Youth Congress" was "subversive" and "Communist." It states that "<i>it originated in 1934 and has been controlled by Communists and manipulated by them to influence the thought of American youth</i>." Further it states that it was "<i>One of the principal fronts of the Communist Party</i>" and "<i>prominently identified with the White House picket line…under the immediate auspices of the American Peace Mobilization</i>" which is also cited in this pamphlet as subversive and Communist. This pamphlet further goes on to mention that the American Youth Congress was "<i>launched during August of 1934 and for about 7 years …one of the most influential front organizations ever established by the American Communist Party</i>." The "purpose of the Young Communist League in controlling and building the American Youth Congress is the same as in its other youth groups namely to build up a united front to push the objectives of and produce cadres for the Communist Party among persons to whom they would be unable to make a direct approach."</p><p> The twenty-six letters in response to Mrs. Roosevelt's invitations were written by the following individuals:</p><p>U.S. Congressmen/women:Michael J. Bradley PA signed by his secretary V.A. Davis<b>; </b>Joseph E. Casey MA<b>; </b>John M. Coffee WA; Matthew A. Dunn; Thomas F. Ford CA; Frank W. Fries IL; Lee E.

Mead NY.</p><p> Two notable letters in this collection were written by early women members of Congress:</p><p><b>Edith Norse Rogers 1881-1960</b></p><p>Edith Norse Rogers was an American social welfare volunteer and politician who was one of the first women to serve in the United States Congress. She was the first woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts. Until 2012 she was the longest serving Congresswoman. In her 35 years in the House of Representatives she was a powerful voice for veterans and sponsored seminal legislation including the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 commonly known as the G.I. Bill which provided educational and financial benefits for veterans returning home from World War II the 1942 bill that created the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps WAAC and the 1943 bill that created the Women's Army Corps WAC. She was also instrumental in bringing federal appropriations to her constituency Massachusetts's 5th congressional district.</p><p><b>Mary Teresa Norton 1875-1959</b></p><p>Mary Teresa Norton was an American politician. She and Florence Prig Kahn were the fifth and sixth women to serve in the United States House of Representatives beginning on March 4 1925. Norton was the first Democrat; the other five were Republicans. She chaired four House committees during her tenure. She was a labor advocate and a supporter of women's rights.</p> books‎

Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "To Miss Trefether With a Merry Xmas from Eleanor Roosevelt." Introduction by Malvina Thompson Scheider. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. First Lady for 12 years and an enduring presence among the world's most admired women Eleanor Roosevelt reached millions of Americans through her syndicated newspaper column. This collection a representative sampling of a decade of "My Day" pieces reveals a First Lady unconventional for her time in her role as the president's peripatetic and reliable observer of world affairs yet deeply traditional in observance of the rituals of family and friendships. As an advocate of progressive social programs she was often the target of brickbats and caricature. Yet typical devotion to her can be found in a quote here of Adlai Stevenson "Her glow . . . warmed the world." An ability to laugh at herself to triumph over personal adversity in her own and in her chil dren's marriages and a genuine interest in people are reflected in these columns.
