‎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

‎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

Light creasing from prior folding some faint finger soiling. 1 p. typed letter in blue ink with one manuscript correction on folded leaf of White House stationery with original White House envelope addressed in type. 8vo 9 x 7-1/8 in. Roosevelt praises the author Melville Post: "Some of the stories in 'The Character corrected to Corrector of Destinies' I have already read and have enjoyed to the full so I can say with entire sincerity that I genuinely look forward to reading the book. I shall take it up to-night and probably you will have on your conscience the fact that for an evening I have scandously neglected my duties ." Post 1869-1930 was a prolific and popular American author and an important contributor to the crime genre - his recuring character Uncle Abner solved crimes in the backwoods of ante-bellum West Virginia. Roosevelt could read and absorb books at an incredible rate - he supposedly read a book a day before breakfast - and it is likely that he polished off Post's book that very evening. unknown‎

The son of the former president who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his role leading the first wave of troops landing at Utah Beach during the Normandy Invasion Theodore Roosevelt Jr. writes to wish Seymour Halpern "Good luck to you!

He was chairman of the Board of the American Express Company and Vice-President at Doubleday before returning to the Army in 1940. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his role leading the first wave of troops landing at Utah Beach during the Normandy invasion. He died 36 days later.</p><p>The recipient Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.</p> Garden City, NY, October 27, 1937.‎

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.

‎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.

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.‎
