Description

“The pledge of support for the voluntary food conservation program which you send … has the ring of true patriotism”

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, October 10, 1947. Letter to Charles Taft of the Council of Churches of Christ. In part, “The pledge of support for the voluntary food conservation program which you send…has the ring of true patriotism. It is inspiring that this great federation of representative Christian bodies recognizes our obligations as Christians towards our suffering brethren…an example of self denial…a response which will be in the great Christian and American tradition.” In fine condition, with small office stamp to lower right and one of the several mailing folds lightly through the tops of a couple letters of signature. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
