TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, July 6, 1937. Letter to Frank C. Walker, the executive secretary of the National Emergency Council, in full: "Mrs. Roosevelt and I appreciate very much the kind message of congratulations from you and Mrs. Walker. Thank you for it." In fine condition. One of FDR’s closest advisors, Walker served as the United States Postmaster General between 1940 and 1945, but he often took part in matters far removed from the post office, including negotiations with the Japanese prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. At Roosevelt’s request, he took on the role of DNC chairman in addition to his postmaster duties, aiding in the initial organization of Roosevelt’s bid for a third term.
