Description

Feeling the financial squeeze

ALS, one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Roosevelt and O’Connor letterhead, November 5, 1927. Letter to an office worker. In part: “Mr. Hanley is here to report on his Cleveland campaign. He expects some actual cash to come in in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile we owe him $750—salary…750 expense account to date, which gives him about $250 ahead. How much of this from the Foundation balance can we pay? Send please as much as the account will stand to Langers Trust Company, account of Frederic P. Hanley—If you can’t send all let me know & I will put up the balance. I hope the Mr. Pope will soon put up the balance of $15,000—We need it very soon for the balance on the heating contract.” In fine condition, with two punch holes to left edge, and intersecting mailing folds, one through a single letter of signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
