TLS as President, signed “F. D. R.” one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, October 15, 1938. Roosevelt writes to Frederick B. Adams, a businessman and husband of FDR’s cousin Ellen Walters Delano. In part: “I am delighted with the book of pictures of the cruise—you did a grand job. I am looking forward to reading Beebe’s book while I am at Hyde Park. I leave for Hyde Park on Sunday. Wouldn’t it be grand if we were just going aboard the U.S.S. Houston? However, I am afraid that no other trip would equal it. Those things are rarely repeated….” In fine, bright condition. JSA/John Reznikoff Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
