‎Lithographic broadside "D-Day Prayer.‎

‎Washington D.C Christmas 1944. Limited edition of this rare broadside of the "D-Day Prayer" one of only 50 printed copies issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt for his close friends handsomely printed in gothic type with red blue and gold ink textual embellishments. The broadside measures 14 inches by 21 inches printed in black gothic type capital letters and portions of the heading in red and blue ink. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 20.5 inches by 28 inches. A rare and desirable piece of history. On June 6th 1944 while American and Allied troops stormed the beaches at Normandy Roosevelt released the text of a prayer in the afternoon which he then delivered by radio to the nation at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time. It is estimated according to Andrew Malcolm that as many as 100 million people listened to it. "The prayer does not invoke one faith but the appeal to God is bold and unapologetic. The D-Day Prayer was an extraordinary event in U.S. religious history" Malcolm. The D-Day Prayer reads in full: "Last night when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. And so in this poignant hour I ask you to join with me in prayer: Almighty God: Our sons pride of our nation this day have set upon a mighty endeavor a struggle to preserve our Republic our religion and our civilization and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms stoutness to their hearts steadfastness in their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace and by the righteousness of our cause our sons will triumph. They will be sore tried by night and by day without rest--until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for an end of battle for their return to the haven of home. Some will never return. Embrace these Father and receive them Thy heroic servants into Thy kingdom. And for us at home--fathers mothers children wives sisters and brothers of brave men overseas whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them--help us Almighty God to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in their hour of great sacrifice. Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day and again when each day is spent let words of prayer be on our lips invoking Thy help to our efforts. Give us strength too--strength in our daily tasks to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces. And let our hearts be stout to wait out the long travail to bear sorrows that may come to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be. And O Lord give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events of temporal matters of but fleeting moment--let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose. With Thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace--a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom reaping the just reward of their honest toil. Thy will be done Almighty God. Amen. Christmas-1933-from F.D.R." This copy belonged to the descendants of John Boettiger who was married to Roosevelt's daughter Anna in 1944 they later divorced. According to family lore Boettiger and Anna assisted in the writing of the speech. According to Curtis Roosevelt Anna's son and John's stepson in his memoir Too Close to the Sun: Growing Up in the Shadow of My Grandparents: Franklin and Eleanor in the spring of 1944 "just before the invasion of Normandy Papa F.D.R. had asked Mummy and Popsie to help him write his D-Day message which he intended to broadcast to Americans on the day that tide-turning operation was launched. I heard my grandfather give much of the credit for composing it to his son-in-law whenever the subject came up. Whichever of my relations produced it it was intensely moving. unknown books‎

‎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
