‎Franklin D Roosevelt‎

‎On the Verge of Victory in World War II President Franklin D. Roosevelt States That He Is “fighting for those policies which…I believe are in the nation's best interestâ€‎

‎28/11/1944. <blockquote><p>Looking to the future FDR believes that “America will achieve that essential unity.â€</p></blockquote><p>The 1944 election was the 40th presidential election. It was held on Tuesday November 7 1944. The election took place during World War II which ended the following year. In it Incumbent Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Republican Thomas E. Dewey to win an unprecedented fourth term. To a degree it was a referendum on Roosevelt’s performance as wartime leader.</p><p>PM was a liberal-leaning daily newspaper published in New York City by Ralph Ingersoll from June 1940 to June 1948 and financed by Chicago millionaire Marshall Field III. The editor was John P. Lewis. In the 1944 election PM endorsed Roosevelt.</p><p>The paper borrowed many elements from weekly news magazines such as many large photos and at first was bound with staples. In an attempt to be free of pressure from business interests it did not accept advertising. These departures from the norms of newspaper publishing created excitement in the industry. Some 11000 people applied for the 150 jobs available when the publication first hired staff. New York Mayor La Guardia joined the staff of PM in December 1945 just months after the war ended.</p><p>In the wake of his reelection FDR wrote PM’s editor to express his gratitude for the newspaper’s support of his effective successful candidacy.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House letterhead Washington November 28 1944 to editor John P. Lewis thanking Lewis for his support of FDR’s policies and programs in peace and wartime praising Lewis for helping foster national unity and stressing that the future will require Americans to work side by side regardless of party leanings. <em>“In its recent support of my candidacy and of the war and peace programs of the administration PM took its place beside a number of other newspapers some of them old regulars on the side of the Democratic Party some traditionally Republican and some like your own describing themselves as independent.</em></p><p><em>“As one of these PM fought hard and effectively in the campaign. It was fighting for those policies which you and I believe are in the nation's best interest.</em></p><p><em>“But it was doing more than that. PM was giving its readers a fine demonstration of our free press functioning at its best. It was pointing the way to a new and stronger national unity which our country must achieve to meet and surmount the problems that lie ahead of us.</em></p><p><em>“I believe America will achieve that essential unity. I think we have made a fine start - thanks to PM and those newspapers and spokesmen fighting side by side with it regardless of party leanings. Let us keep up the good work together.â€</em></p><p>An evocative and very uncommon letter with FDR looking both to the past and the future and commenting on the role the press played in his 1944 election victory and would play after the war.</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

‎President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Accordance with Article II of the U.S. Constitution Formally Seeks the “Advice and Consent†of the Senate to an International Treaty‎

‎27/01/1939. <blockquote><p>“To the end that I may receive the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification of the revised regulations I transmit herewith a certified copy of the revision of the General Radio Regulations annexed to the International Telecommunications Convention…â€</p><p> </p><p>A rare letter of any president to the U.S. Senate and the first seeking the Constitutionally required “Advice and Consent†that we have ever seen</p></blockquote><p>The International Radiocommunication Conference was the first of the administrative radiocommunications conferences. It dealt with telegraph as well as telephone issues and was held simultaneously with the Administrative Telegraph and Telephone Conference in Cairo in 1938 under the banner of the International Telecommunication Conferences. The Telegraph Consultative Committee CCIT was reorganized and would function similarly to the Telephone Consultative Committee CCIF. The CCIT would from now on be charged with the study of rate questions submitted to it by a plenipotentiary or administrative conference.</p><p>The unification of code and plain language rates for telegrams within the European regime was adopted. The new fixed rate for coded telegrams was changed to 92% of the existing rate of plain language telegrams. The Telephone Regulations were modified to include the establishment of “reversed-call charges†and “urgent aircraft calls.†Urgent aircraft calls would be given priority over all other types of calls except urgent government calls.</p><p>Participants agreed to use English as a supplementary language in conferences and meetings. The United States offered translating services for both of the conferences and compiled unofficial English translations. A vote determined that the Bureau would be responsible for future translations. A committee was created to resolve issues related to voting and to establish a recommendation for the next conference. A report was compiled and was approved for future voting at conferences.</p><p>The increased demand and need for frequencies on intercontinental air routes was recognized. It was also decided that higher technical standards for transmitters through improved tolerance and band tables would be established. Limits were placed on the use of spark sets and maritime use was restricted to three frequencies. In addition modifications were made to the regulations of the Maritime Mobile Service.</p><p>The Radio Consultative Committee CCIR was reorganized. It would now be charged with the study of both technical and operations questions. Interval meetings would be held every three years.</p><p>Changes were made to the Additional Radio Regulations with the establishment of a maximum charge of 20 centimes for radiotelegrams in the aeronautical service and the adoption of detailed regulations for new radio maritime letters.</p><p>The Final Protocol to the General Radio Regulations was adopted and the agreement was ready to be ratified by the nations involved.</p><p>A treaty is a binding agreement between nation-states that forms the basis for international law. Thus the agreement that resulted from this Conference was a form of treaty and treaties signed by the United States must be ratified by the U.S. Senate to become law. Article II of the United States Constitution provides that the president ""shall have Power by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate to make Treaties provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur.†President Roosevelt formally sought the Advice and Consent of the Senate to the Conference agreement.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> The White House Washington January 27 1939 <em>“TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATESâ€. “To the end that I may receive the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification of the revised regulations I transmit herewith a certified copy of the revision of the General Radio Regulations annexed to the International Telecommunications Convention signed at Madrid on December 9 1932 adopted on April 8 1938 by the International Telecommunication Conferences which convened at Cairo Egypt on February 1 1938 to revise these regulations as well as the Additional Radio Regulations and the telephone and telegraph regulations also annexed to the Madrid Convention but which were not signed for the United States.</em></p><p><em>Accompanying these revised general radio regulations is a certified copy of the Final Protocol to the General Radio Regulations in which reservations thereto made by certain governments are recorded.

‎President Franklin D. Roosevelt Appoints One of the New Deal’s Top Engineers Governor of the Panama Canal‎

‎15/05/1944. <blockquote><p>The only Canal Zone governorship appointment we can find reaching the market in over 40 years</p></blockquote><p>Joseph C. Mehaffey was a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He was first assigned to the Panama Canal Zone in 1911-1912 then was sent to Alaska as Chief Engineer to build bridges roads and trails throughout the territory. During World War I he served in the Office of the Chief of Engineers in Washington. After the war he was named professor of practical military engineering at West Point. Returning to Washington Mehaffey was appointed assistant to the executive officer of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission and in that capacity helped oversee the design and construction of the bridge. He also supervised the 1927 conversion of the attic of the White House into a 3rd floor with bedrooms bathrooms and office space.</p><p>Mehaffey returned to the Panama Canal Zone in December 1929 as assistant engineer then was reassigned to the Office of the Chief of Engineers. During the New Deal he had responsibility over WPA projects nationwide primarily working on airport beach pier playground and school projects in New York City. One of his major construction efforts was building the East River Drive. As Assistant Administrator for Engineering for the entire WPA he was very much on President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s radar.</p><p>With World War II on the horizon in September 1941 Mehaffey once again was assigned to the Panama Canal Zone as maintenance engineer building locks and highways. He became a brigadier general in June 1942 and was appointed Panama Canal Zone Governor by President Roosevelt on May 15 1944. He was promoted to major general a month later. During this period Mehaffey oversaw operation of the canal while record amounts of traffic moved through it. At one point in 1945 more than 100 ships waited at the eastern entrance to the canal. He retired in 1948 receiving the Distinguished Service Medal for his service as Canal governor.</p><p><strong>Document signed</strong> as President Washington May 15 1944 appointing <em>“Brigadier General Joseph C. Mehaffey…Governor of The Panama Canal.â€</em> The document is countersigned by Secretary of War Henry Stimson and its blue seal is still intact.</p><p>Appointments signed by FDR in the last year of his life are quite uncommon this being the first we have had in many years. But even more significant is the rarity of appointments as Panama Canal governor made by any president. We have never seen another and a search of public sale records going back over 40 years shows only this very document as having reached the public market. It last sold in 1976.</p> unknown‎

‎President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's “Father Damien: An Open Letter to the Rev. Dr. Hyde of Honoluluâ€‎

‎1/1/30. <p>FDR had a great interest in Father Damien who devoted his life to helping lepers and got the U.S. Navy to transport Damien’s casket to Belgium for reburial.</p><p>Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist poet and travel writer and a leading representative of English literature. He is best known for works such as Treasure Island Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Kidnapped.</p><p>Stevenson is also remembered because of his famous reply in the form of a published letter to the Rev. Doctor Hyde of Honolulu about the Catholic martyr Father Damien undertaken because of Hyde’s attack on Damien who he called to Stevenson’s displeasure “a coarse dirty man headstrong and bigoted…He had no hand in the reforms and improvements inaugurated which were the work of our Board of Health as occasion required and means were provided. He was not a pure man in his relations with women and the leprosy of which he died should be attributed to his vices and carelessness.â€</p><p>Stevenson’s response has attained the stature of a small classic. Damien’s extraordinary devotion to the lepers of Molokai moved Stevenson to compose a response to the offensive charges hurled against Damien. The letter holds the reader with the incisive beauty of its diction with its irony its mockery and its sarcasm. Measured in words it is brief; but gauged in terms of the scene it evokes the truths it states the man it portrays it is long.</p><p>Robert Louis Stevenson wrote it with the same clear and accurate insight into human motives and the same depth of sympathy found in all of his great novels and essays. Many books and pamphlets have been written about Father Damien but this letter is surely the most profoundly moving work about his courageous dedicated inspiring life.</p><p>Originally written in 1890 in 1930 “Father Damien: An Open Letter to the Rev. Dr. Hyde of Honolulu“ was published privately for William Andrews Clark Jr. and John Henry Nash. In the mid-1910s Clark a noted philanthropist began collecting antiquarian and fine press books as a serious hobby. In 1919 he hired bibliographer Robert E. Cowan to consult on book-buying purchases and to help with the compilation of a printed library catalog. The first volume of this was printed in 1920 by San Francisco printer John Henry Nash who did other books for Clark as well including the Open Letter.</p><p>This is <strong>Franklin D. Roosevelt’s copy</strong> of <em>“Father Damien: An Open Letter to the Rev. Dr. Hyde of Honolulu.â€</em> Eleanor Roosevelt has written an ownership <strong>signature</strong> in her husband’s name and she has added <em>“his book.â€</em> Below that she has written own her initials.</p><p>On his death in 1889 Damien was laid to rest by and among his leper friends on Molokai. 46 years later his remains were transferred to his native Belgium. President Franklin D. Roosevelt provided a United States Navy ship to transport the casket which was welcomed at Antwerp by the Cardinal Archbishop King Leopold III and more than 100000 people.</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

‎Franklin D Roosevelt|Winston Churchill‎

‎Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt at War: Signed by Both at the Great Conferences of World War II‎

‎1/12/42. <blockquote><p>To find the signatures of Churchill and Roosevelt on one piece obtained at the great war time Conferences is an extraordinary rarity this being our first ever</p></blockquote><p>During World War I the Ottoman Empire presided over by Turkey was allied with Germany. Winston Churchill sought to break the stalemate in the trenches in Europe by attacking Turkey knocking it out of the war and thus safeguarding the Suez Canal protecting Britain’s interests in the Middle East and bringing Greece and other nations to the Allied side. In World War II all of Turkey's neighbors had joined the Axis or the Allies. In the west Bulgaria was a German ally Greece was occupied by German troops and Italy held some of the Greek Islands. The USSR was a neighbor of Turkey to the northeast. To the south were Syria which joined the Free French and Iraq which was part of the British Empire. Turkey was faced with a dilemma; for reasons of security it remained officially neutral for much of the war but its sympathies lay with the Allies. In the early stages of the war to forestall a German attack on its territory Turkey stayed out of the conflict and even signed a nonaggression pact with Germany in 1941. Turkish neutrality however was assailed by the USSR as opportunistic and hypocritical and Churchill was dissatisfied because he felt that with Turkey in the war as an ally Germany and its allies in south-eastern Europe would be put under pressure. With the Allied attack on Europe upcoming he thus favored an attempt to draw Turkey into the conflict.</p><p><a href=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204151229/fdr-wsc-long.jpg""><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-24389"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204151229/fdr-wsc-long-1600x475.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""475"" /></a></p><p>The Casablanca Conference took place just two months after the Anglo-American landings in French North Africa in November 1942. The Casablanca Conference was a meeting between U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill held in the city of Casablanca Morocco that took place from January 14–24 1943. At this meeting Roosevelt and Churchill focused on coordinating Allied military strategy against the Axis powers over the course of the coming year. They resolved to concentrate their efforts against Germany in the hopes of drawing German forces away from the Eastern Front and to increase shipments of supplies to the Soviet Union. While they would begin gathering forces in England in preparation for an eventual landing in northern France they decided that first they would concentrate their efforts in the Mediterranean by launching an invasion of Sicily and the Italian mainland designed to knock Italy out of the war. They also agreed to strengthen their strategic bombing campaign against Germany. Finally the leaders agreed on a military effort to eject Japan from Papua New Guinea and to open up new supply lines to China through Japanese-occupied Burma. On the final day of the Conference President Roosevelt announced that he and Churchill had decided that the only way to ensure postwar peace was to adopt a policy of unconditional surrender. The President clearly stated however that the policy of unconditional surrender did not entail the destruction of the populations of the Axis powers but rather “the destruction of the philosophies in those countries which are based on conquest and the subjugation of other people.â€</p><p>During the Conference Churchill proposed to press Turkey to join the Allies in the war. General George Marshall and other high-ranking members of the US military feared the extension of the war to a new Turkish front and were opposed. However President Roosevelt gave Churchill the green light on January 18 1943 to ""play the Turkish hand"". On January 25 Churchill through Britain’s Ambassador to Turkey Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen asked for a meeting with Turkish President Ismet _nönü and it was Knatchbull-Hugessen’s great diplomatic coup to arrange for Churchill to meet Turkish leadership. There from January 30 to February 1 Churchill met with _nönü and other Turkish officials at the Adana Conference. The teams were headed by _nönü and Churchill. The other members of the Turkish side were Prime Minister _ükrü Saraco_lu Foreign Minister Nu_man Kemal Menemencio_lu and a group of advisers. The British team had Ambassador Knatchbull-Hugessen Field Marshal Harold Alexander who oversaw the final stages of the evacuation from Dunkirk and subsequently served as Commander-in-Chief of British forces Middle East Gen. Sir Alan Brooke and others. Churchill assured the Turks that the Allies would continue to guarantee Turkish security and would supply Turkey with supplies necessary for self-defense. As an ally Turkey would be eligible for the U.S. Lend-Lease Program and receive significant amounts of such aid. Although Churchill did not extract any binding commitment from _nönü he did obtain the assurance that Turkey would do all it could to aid the Allies without violating its neutrality.</p><p><a href=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204151235/FDR-wsc-long-2.jpg""><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-24388"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204151235/FDR-wsc-long-2-1600x675.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""675"" /></a></p><p>From November November 22–26 1943 the First Cairo Conference was held in Cairo Egypt with President Roosevelt again crossing the Atlantic to attend along with an impressive entourage that included such U.S. luminaries as Generals George Marshall and Hap Arnold and Admiral Ernest King. The British were in attendance in the persons of Churchill General Brooke and Field Marshal John Dill among others. Chiang Kai-shek attended to represent China. The Cairo Declaration was issued on November 27 1943 and stated the Allies' intentions to continue deploying military force until Japan's unconditional surrender. Japan would be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she had seized or occupied and all the territories Japan had “stolen†from the Chinese would be restored.</p><p>The Second Cairo Conference was held the following week from December 4–6 1943 in order to address the part Turkey could play in aiding the Allied war effort. In addition to the attendees at the first conference the week before British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden and Ambassador Knatchbull-Hugessen took part as did numerous Soviet representatives. Churchill again wanted Turkey to immediately join the war on the Allied side and the biggest reason for Turkey's hesitation to do so was the eventual reduction of the amount of financial and military aid which Churchill had promised in Adana. By December 1943 the Anglo-American authorities felt the overall situation had changed so fundamentally that a much smaller scale of assistance than that provided for in the earlier meting would be necessary. The British proposed a reduced scale of aid. The Turks on the other hand wished to make certain that upon their entry into the war they would be strong enough to defend their homeland and they doubted that the new plan would fully meet their security needs. Churchill faced with Operation Overlord only six months away reluctantly concluded that the resources demanded and the time required for strengthening Turkey could not be conceded. The U.S. Chiefs of Staff and their planners on the other hand felt relieved that this possible threat to concentration on Operation Overlord had at last been removed. At the end of the conference it was decided that Turkey's neutrality should be maintained. It was also decided to build the Incirlik Air Base near Adana for possible Allied air operations in the region but construction only began after the end of the war. Incirlik Air Base later played an important role for NATO during the Cold War. Roosevelt and _nönü got what they wanted while Churchill was a bit disappointed at the result because he believed that an active Turkish participation in the war would quicken the German defeat by hitting their ""soft underbelly"" in the southeast. Turkey eventually joined the war on the side of the Allies on February 23 1945.</p><p>American aviators invented the idea of a “short snorter†in the 1920s the early days of aviation. These were bank notes signed by those who travelled together on an airplane. This grew into a custom where the signatories included notables and those working together on a common enterprise and soon spread to the military. During World War II Americans frequently collected short snorters on their travels. The British took up this custom with great enthusiasm.</p><p>This is a British pound <strong>note</strong> <em>""Short Snorter""</em> kept by Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen British Ambassador to Turkey who has signed and dated it December 1 1942. The first names he obtained appear to be crew members that returned him to Turkey after a late 1942 visit to Britain. Following is the signature of Frank A. Kaufman a US Lend Lease representative. Knatchbull-Hugessen attended the Adana Conference and there he obtained the <strong>signatures</strong> of Winston Churchill Turkish President Ismet Inönü his signature dated 30 January 1943 and Prime Minister _ükrü Saraco_lu. Under those appear names likely associated with bring him from Turkey to Cairo for the Second Cairo Conference. In Cairo his short snorter was signed by British Foreign Secretary and future prime minister Anthony Eden and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.</p><p>From time to time one sees posters signed by Churchill and Roosevelt at the Atlantic Conference which was a show of solidarity before the U.S. entered the war. But to find the signatures of Churchill and Roosevelt on one piece obtained at the great war time Conferences is an extraordinary rarity. So rare in fact that this is our first in all our decades in this field.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-23729 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204152429/Folder-site-7-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown‎

‎Franklin D Roosevelt‎

‎With War Looming in Europe in 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt Will Personally Witness U.S. Naval War Readiness Exercises‎

‎24/01/1939. <blockquote><p>“I am off I hope in February for somewhere to the eastward of Barbados - Fleet Problem no. XX. You will not read much about it in the paper but I will tell you about it on your way north.â€</p></blockquote><p>President Roosevelt was appalled by the dictators in Europe and Asia and by the appeasement of them. He saw before most that war was coming and that the United States would be drawn into it. He wanted the U.S. military to be strong and ready believing that “We must and will marshal our great potential strength to fend off war from our shores.â€</p><p>“Fleet Problem†was the term used by the U.S. Navy to describe 21 large-scale naval war-readiness exercises conducted between 1923 and 1940. The nation’s leadership used these exercises to understand exploit and incorporate new technologies and capabilities while developing tactics training and procedures to employ should war present itself. Conducted in all the major waters adjacent to the U.S. these Fleet Problems covered the gamut of naval warfare from convoy duty strike warfare and sea control. Most important perhaps was that this was the laboratory that tested the emerging idea of putting aircraft at sea on board aircraft carriers.</p><p>As war loomed imminently in Europe in 1939 Fleet Problem No. XX took place in February in the Caribbean and Atlantic. It was personally witnessed at sea by President Roosevelt from the battleship USS Pennsylvania. From the time he had served as Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920 FDR took a lively interest in all matters pertaining to the Navy. This 1939 exercise simulated the defense of the east coast of the United States and Latin America by the Black team from the invading White team. Participating in the maneuvers were 134 ships 600 planes and over 52000 officers and men. Both commanders managed their air forces well each concentrating his efforts at destroying his enemy’s air power before going after his battle fleet. Each had made carriers the center piece of independent task forces a decision that would prove wise in the war just two years ahead.</p><p>Commander George C. Sweet was a U.S. Navy officer significant in promoting the early use of aircraft by the Navy. In September 1908 then-Lieutenant Sweet serving as a Naval observer reported favorably on the Wright Brothers airplane demonstration at Fort Meyer near Washington D.C. In 1909 Sweet was taken up with the Wright Brothers first Army flyer becoming the first Navy officer to travel in an airplane. Sweet was then assigned to the Navy’s school for airplane instruction and was thereafter a Navy engineer in Washington specializing in steam engines. In early 1919 Sweet was named assistant to the Naval Attache at the American embassy in Paris a particularly plum posting as the peace conference to end World War I was being carried on in Versailles.</p><p>Franklin D. Roosevelt followed in his cousin’s footsteps to fame by serving as Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920. He was a prime advocate of naval aviation and against strong opposition is credited with preserving the Navy’s air arm from demobilization after World War I. He surely met Sweet in his capacity of promoting naval aviation. Roosevelt was called to Paris to join President Wilson at the Versailles Conference in January 1919. According to the Sweet descendants FDR and Commander Sweet forged a friendship onboard ship clearly indicating that the two men were passengers on the USS George Washington together in 1919 though whether on the sailing in January or return in July or both is not known.</p><p>Roosevelt was a careful man aware that his statements must be made guardedly to avoid giving aid and opportunity to his political enemies. His public correspondence was generally drafted by aides and was measured serious deliberate and discreet. However the private FDR was outgoing humorous and frank the life of the party and when he corresponded with those he could trust this side could show through. Sweet was such a man.  We recently obtained this letter directly from the Sweet descendants.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House letterhead Washington January 24 1939 to Sweet saying he is leaving for the Fleet Problem. <em>“Many thanks for the information about my ex-boat. After she came up all standing in the middle of the pine forest I sold her to somebody who was going to use her as a bungalow dance hall saloon or some similar purpose and I am sorry to know that she has gone up in smoke. Glad your medico has made interesting discoveries about your anatomy and that your cough has been cured by the application of corn plasters to your toe -  or some such treatment! I am off I hope in February for somewhere to the eastward of Barbados - Fleet Problem no. XX. You will not read much about it in the paper but I will tell you about it on your way north.â€</em> The original White House envelope is still present.</p><p>Interestingly FDR explicitly states that he will discuss the results of the top secret exercise with Sweet. Also noteworthy is the fact that the battleship Pennsylvania on which Roosevelt viewed Fleet Problem XX was at Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941 the day that FDR famously said would live in infamy. She was strafed and had crew killed but the Japanese failed to sink her.</p><p>This historic letter appears to be unpublished as we can find no mention of it. It remained in the hands of the Sweet descendants until now and has never before been offered for sale.</p> unknown‎
