Roosevelt, Theodore
A Typed Letter Unsigned with a Holograph Addition
New York 1916. Very good. On Oyster Bay Long Island N. Y. stationery; One page approx. 7.5" x 5.5"; The former President regrettably declines an invitation to dinner in honor of the Premier of Canada Sir Robert Laird Borden and his wife. The event was held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on April 1. 1916. There is one holograph additon to this piece "Mr." appears just before TR's name in the first line. We are confident that this is in TR's hand and can provide comparable examples. He would often make manuscript additions to typed letters. This letter is nicely framed with a engraved portrait of TR from the U. S. Bureau of Engraving. unknown

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DELIVERED MAY 22 1935. Inscribed to FDR Jr.
Washington: Government Printing Office 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. Some mild foxing to the endpapers and the title page not affecting the inscription. Very Good. VETO MESSAGE ON THE ADJUSTED COMPENSATION ACT 1935. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering and the Presidential Seal in gilt on the front cover; 2 11 pages. Franklin Roosevelt's first Christmas book there would be seven more issued in an edition of only 50 copies. SIGNED by the author at the conclusion of the text. In addition on the front endpaper is the following INSCRIPTION in Roosevelt's hand: "For Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr./with love from Father" and below that also in FDR's hand: "One of 50 copies." From the text: "A government like an individual must ultimately meet legitimate obligations out of the production of wealth by the labor of human beings applied to the resources of nature. The herculean task of the United States Government today is to take care that its citizens have the necessities of life. We are seeking honestly and honorably to do this irrespective of class or group." While never achieving the renown of his father Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. was a successful congressman 1949-1954 who twice ran for governor of New York and who was a close friend and early backer of John F. Kennedy. He later became a successful businessman. Obviously a very scarce book on the market this is an Association Copy of the highest order. <br/><br/> Government Printing Office hardcover

Roosevelt, Franklin Delano
Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill
Washington D.C.: The White House Government Printing Office 1942. First edition limited issue of 100 numbered and signed copies this is #29. A crisp clean copy very near fine in the publisher’s marbled boards with white vellum spine and applied gilt-stamped morocco spine label. Some foxing to the bottom of the vellum a few abrasions with minor losses to rear board and some tiny nicks to the spine label with no loss. Lacking the glassine jacket but with the publisher’s slipcase dampstained at one corner and with the boards bowed inward; still sound. Else a superb example very good overall. First edition limited issue of 100 numbered and signed copies this is #29. Probably the rarest and most sought-after of the Roosevelt “Christmas books†this is #29 of 100 limited copies personally signed and hand-numbered by Roosevelt and additionally inscribed by him on the first free endpaper to his long-time friend colleague and confidante: “For Marvin H. McIntyre / with the affectionate regards of his old friend / Franklin D. Roosevelt / Christmas 1942.â€<br /> <br /> This was one of the last of FDR's annual “Christmas books†and it contains some of the most affecting and significant speeches delivered by him and his British counterpart Winston Churchill all during the first month of America's engagement in World War II. Among these are FDR's “Day of Infamy†speech formally seeking a declaration of war against Japan from Congress; his January 6 1942 State of the Union message; and Churchill's December 26 1941 address to the United States Congress. After fulfilling so many of his earlier promises in bringing stability and hope to the middle class in the wake of the Depression Roosevelt used these eloquent addresses to help shepherd a weary nation into perhaps its most significant military sacrifice fighting the menace of fascism and developing a cold but nevertheless open and important relationship with the Soviet Union. A fold-out facsimile of the “Declaration by United Nations" pledging global cooperation in combating the members of the Tripartite Pact appears after the president's speech on the subject near the rear of the volume.<br /> <br /> Examples of this Christmas book are extremely rare in commerce; many are treasured by the descendants of those who had received them personally as gifts from Roosevelt and those that have sold at auction have attained very healthy results often surpassing the high estimate. This copy is especially significant because it is inscribed to McIntyre who first met and befriended Roosevelt when they both worked for the Secretary of the Navy during the First World War. He shared day-to-day scheduling responsibilities with Steven T. Early when Roosevelt ran for Vice President in 1920 and for his 1932 presidential campaign the candidate asked “Mac†to be his Press Officer. McIntyre served in several capacities in the administration and was as close to the President during his workday as Missy LeHand or Grace Tully Roosevelt’s very well-known secretaries. FDR relied on his trusted friend to speak to the press organize his endless parade of meetings and manage the expectations of anyone who got close to him and "Mac" was present when Roosevelt learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor. McIntyre died a week before Christmas 1943 when Roosevelt was in the middle of his third term.<br /> <br /> A rare occasion to obtain one of the most prized of FDR volumes inscribed here to one of his most valued friends.

McIntyre: “For Marvin / with a Happy Christmas/ from / Franklin D. Roosevelt.â€<br /> <br /> This concise collection of ten speeches presents selected highlights from Roosevelt's 1940 presidential campaign commencing with his July 19 radio address announcing his decision to run for an unprecedented third term — along with the reasoning behind it — and concluding with his inaugural address on January 20 1941.<br /> <br /> Marvin "Mac" McIntyre became friends with Roosevelt when both men worked at the Navy Department during World War I and shared day-to-day appointment and schedule responsibilities with Steven T. Early during FDR's unsuccessful 1920 Vice Presidential campaign. When Roosevelt decided to run for president in 1932 he called up his old friend “Mac†hired him as his Press Officer and then appointed him as his Appointments Secretary in the White House. Later in 1941 — just before this book was printed — McIntyre would be present when Roosevelt learned of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He died two years later a week before Christmas 1943 when Roosevelt was near the end of his third term.<br /> <br /> A very pleasing example of this Roosevelt “Christmas book†an annual holiday tradition created in limited numbers and distributed only to close friends and family.

ROOSEVELT, Franklin D.
Addresses July 19 1940 to January 20 1941.
Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1941. Presented to a modernist poet soon to join Roosevelt's wartime administration First edition number 42 of 75 copies privately printed for presentation by Roosevelt signed by him on the limitation page and inscribed on the front free endpaper: "For Archie MacLeish With a Happy Christmas from Franklin D. Roosevelt". The modernist poet Archibald MacLeish 1892-1982 had written speeches for Roosevelt and served him as Librarian of Congress from 1939 and in his war administration. "Politically during the thirties MacLeish was developing a liberal humanism that made him admire Franklin D. Roosevelt for whom he later wrote speeches. As librarian he applied his formidable administrative talents to reorganizing and modernizing the inertia-bound Library of Congress. He also directed an information/propaganda agency called the Office of Facts and Figures in 1941. The agency lasted less than a year and lacked the authority to accomplish much. MacLeish then became assistant director of the Office of War Information 1942-1943. He wrote little poetry during this period but in essays and speeches continued to argue for freedom and communal solidarity not just to overcome fascism but to promote and exercise the freedoms on which the United States was based. In 1944 MacLeish resigned from the library and prepared to return to private life. Roosevelt however appointed him assistant secretary of state for cultural and public affairs. In 1945 he resigned this position and led the US. delegation to the organizational meeting of UNESCO and in 1946 he served as assistant head of the US delegation to UNESCO.
