Eleanor Roosevelt, Illustrated by Fritz Kredel
Christmas signed by Eleanor Roosevelt
<p>New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1940. First edition. Hardcover. This is a lovely signed first edition of then-First Lady Eleanor Roosevelts Christmas story for children. The author signed Eleanor Roosevelt in blue ink on the half-title page. Condition is fine in a near fine dust jacket. The illustrated binding is tight and immaculately clean with unfaded hues sharp corners and no appreciable wear. The contents are bright with a crisp feel no spotting and no previous owner names. "First edition" is so stated on the copyright page. Affixed to the upper rear pastedown is the tiny sticker of Daniels and Fisher Book Shop of London. The dust jacket illustrated to match the binding is unclipped retaining the original $.50 price and complete save for a tiny chip to the upper rear face. The jacket shows only light wear to extremities and a barely discernible hint of toning to the spine. <br /><br />The story titled simply Christmas occurs on Christmas eve 1940 in a land in which the happy peaceful days of pre-war times no longer exist; where the greed and the ruthlessly aggressive power of the invader have full control and in which faith hope and love buoy the hearts of a young girl named Marta and her mother. <br /><br />That Christmas was published in 1940 is no accident. Of her tale Eleanor wrote in her preface: The times are so serious that even children should be made to understand that there are vital differences in peoples beliefs which lead to differences in behavior. This little story I hope will appeal enough to children so they will read it and as they grow older they may understand that the love and peace and gentleness typified by the Christ Child leads us to a way of life for which we must all strive. <br /><br />In December 1940 the United States was still nearly a year away from the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that finally compelled the U.S. to formally enter the Second World War. On Christmas eve 1940 Hitlers Wehrmacht had swept through much of Europe and England had just fended off a sustained months-long assault by the Luftwaffe meant to be the prelude to Nazi invasion. U.S. public sentiment still held strongly isolationist sentiments and President Roosevelt was exerting and arguably exceeding peacetime authority in aiding the British. The Lend-Lease act would not be approved by Congress until March 1941. Hence this little story was arguably far more rooted in the exigencies of rousing the American public than its simple title might suggest. <br /><br />It would have been no surprise that the author was deftly and decisively supporting a cause. Called First Lady of the World by President Truman for her humanitarian work Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 was the first US Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights a prolific writer including dozens of books hundreds of articles and editorials and a daily newspaper column from 1936-1962 and the longest-serving first lady of the United States. <br /><br />When her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt was running for president in the fall of 1932 as the likely election winner Eleanor had already independently made for herself a name in Democratic politics as a spokesperson for the newly enfranchised woman voter labor advocate in the midst of the Great Depression a vocal promoter of civil rights and the head of the Womens Division of the Democratic National Committee since 1928. She feared her impending role as First Lady a heretofore purely social and apolitical role would necessitate a quieting of her convictions and force her to step down from her political positions; she even told friends that she would divorce FDR should he win rather than lose her independence. <br /><br />After FDRs unprecedented victory securing 42 of 48 states Eleanor made the decision to transform her new position rather than yield to it. She did so and in so doing she became a fearless international champion of progressive causes and perhaps the most influential American woman of the twentieth century. ANB. </p> Alfred A.

Eleanor Roosevelt Embraces a Tribute to Her Husband’s Memory
28/06/1948. <p>Roosevelt was in her time one of the world's most widely admired and powerful women. In her years in the White House she was controversial for her outspokenness particularly with respect to her promotion of civil rights. She was the first presidential spouse to hold regular press conferences write a daily newspaper column write a monthly magazine column host a weekly radio show and speak at a national party convention. Her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt revered by many often consulted with her on policy and used her as a connection to groups he sought to woo or to assist.</p><p>Following FDR’s death in April 1945 Eleanor Roosevelt was a lightening rod for those who wanted to honor or pay respects to her late husband. She had her own projects as well. She pressed the United States to join and support the United Nations and became its first delegate to the committee on Human Rights. She served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Later in the administration of John F. Kennedy she chaired its Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. By the time of her death Mrs. Roosevelt was regarded as ""one of the most esteemed women in the worldâ€.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on her Val-Kill Cottage letterhead June 28 1948 to a Miss Cooke lauding her tribute to FDR. <em>“Thank you so much for sending me the copy of your book of poems and for the tribute to my husband. I shall place the book in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library with the other tributes to my husband's memory.â€</em></p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown

Eleanor Roosevelt
Eleanor Roosevelt Typed Letter Signed When she was US Delegate to the UN
1952. Eleanor Roosevelt. Remarkable first lady as well known for her work as a social reformer in her time in the White House and first female UN delegate. 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

Many of these had once been of means but had been financially stranded by the Depression. Moreover every member of the board gave of her own private funds toward support of the League and hundreds of women sold their goods through the League giving them an income when money was hard to come by.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House stationery Washington December 4 1933 to Mrs. William Aspinwall expressing her willingness to support the League financially. <em>“I have asked my housekeeper to keep the Gentlewomen’s League in mind and to buy what she can from there.

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt Writes About Relief Efforts For The Greek Famine During World War Ii
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 1884-1962. The wife of FDR Roosevelt was First Lady of the United States from 1933-1945 as well as a noted humanitarian throughout her life.TLS. 1pg. January 6 1944. The White House. A typed letter signed Eleanor Roosevelt as First Lady dated during World War Two. On White House letterhead Roosevelt wrote to about the problem of providing relief to Greeks who were starving due to a war-related famine. Dear Mrs. Butler: I have your letter and a copy of Senate Resolution 100. Such a resolution would have no value. Everyone would like to be able to feed the people of Europe. The State Department and Governor Lehmans committee are doing everything they can. The pattern for Greece cannot be followed because Greece has nothing the Germans could take out. The difficulties of transportation add greatly to the problem. It is heartbreking sic to think of starving children and I know every effort is being made to work out some plan which will not prolong the war. Very sincerely yours Eleanor Roosevelt. Lehman refers to former Governor of New York Herbert Lehman who was working with the State Department and United Nations on such relief efforts. The letter is in very good condition with some folds. unknown

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt Mentions Fala The Roosevelts Famous Scottie Dog
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 1884-1962. Roosevelt was First Lady from 1933 to 1945 as well as a prominent human rights activist.TLS. 1pg. June 11 1943. The White House. A typed letter signed Eleanor Roosevelt as First Lady. On The White House letterhead Roosevelt discusses her famous Presidential dog Fala the Scottish Terrier: Dear Mrs. Tucker: Thank you for your letter. There have been so many things written about Falla sic and there is also a movie and I do not think there is anything I could add to the story of Falla sic and the Princesses. In any case I will not be in New York City with any free time for the next several weeks. Very sincerely yours Eleanor Roosevelt. The movie Roosevelt refers to was produced by MGM about life in the White House. During his final Presidential campaign the following year FDR would make a speech refuting claims that he had forgotten Fala in the Aleutian Islands and sent a destroyer to reclaim him at taxpayer expense saying that he felt justified in objecting to libel surrounding his dog. Fala is represented alongside FDR on his memorial in Washington D.C. It is in very good condition with an area of toning. unknown

Eleanor Roosevelt
India and the Awakening East inscribed by Eleanor Roosevelt
<p>New York: Harper & Brothers 1953. First edition. Hardcover. This is a presentation copy of the first edition inscribed by Eleanor Roosevelt to Emerson J. Griffith Director of Oregon's Works Projects Administration WPA during the presidency of the authors husband Franklin D. Roosevelt. <br /><br />Eleanors inscription inked in three lines in black on the half title reads To Mr. & Mrs. E. J. Griffith with warm regards & thanks Eleanor Roosevelt. Affixed to the facing front free endpaper recto is the illustrated bookplate of EMERSON J. GRIFFITH prominently displaying Timberline Lodge with Mt. Hood in the background. <br /><br />Condition is very good in a good plus dust jacket. The binding of quarter black cloth over brick red cloth-covered boards is square tight and clean with only trivial shelf wear to the corners and spine ends. The contents are clean with no spotting. FIRST EDITION is helpfully printed on the title page verso. Mild age-toning appears substantially confined to the otherwise clean page edges. The dust jacket has a neatly price-clipped upper front flap wear to the joints and flap folds a small stain to the lower rear joint and a toned spine. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear removable archival cover. <br /><br />As Oregons WPA Director the recipient Emerson Griffith 1884-1965 conceived and spearheaded construction of the famous Timberline Lodge located at an elevation of nearly 6000 feet on the south side of Mount Hood. More than just a praiseworthy structure the 40000 square foot Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark that today attracts more than 2 million visitors per year. At the time the Lodge proved a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to harness a remarkable convocation of artists and craftsmen who desperately needed the work during the Great Depression. The result was an explosion of creativity much the same as what made Europes soaring Gothic cathedrals such masterpieces. Griffith in a telegram said of the work These men indeed feel they are putting their skill into a cathedral. Come up from the depths of despair they work with a spiritual exaltation that sometimes amazes me. On 28 September 1937 President Roosevelt was present to dedicate Timberline Lodge a ceremony carried live on radio. Timberline Hotel remains an enduring monument to the best impulses and outcomes of Roosevelts WPA. The iconic silhouette of Timberline Lodge is widely recognized and served as the exterior of the hotel in the movie The Shining 1980. <br /><br />Called First Lady of the World by President Truman for her humanitarian work Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 was the first US Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights a prolific writer including dozens of books hundreds of articles and editorials and a daily newspaper column from 1936-1962 and the longest-serving first lady of the United States. <br /><br />India and the Awakening East is Eleanor Roosevelts account of her 1952 journey through the Middle East and Far East including Lebanon Pakistan Syria Trans-Jordan Israel and India. <br /><br />Newly independent India was trying to establish a functional democracy and had just held its first general elections between October 1951 and February 1952. Fractiously engaged with Pakistan and a notional geopolitical counterweight to communist China India was of increasing importance to the West. The political landscape and considerations do not sound appreciably different nearly three quarters of a century later. Likewise enduring is the first-person perspective of someone as astute engaged seasoned and engaging as ER particular as a witness to Indias nascence. <br /><br />While the trip was unofficial such was Eleanors stature and temperament that she could never be an unaffecting observer. President Trumans Secretary of State Dean Acheson wrote President Truman to say of ERs tour that it "served the public interest exceedingly well" and that "she appears to have done much to increase understanding of United States foreign policy objectives". </p> Harper & Brothers hardcover
