ALS signed “FDR,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, December 30, [1928]. Letter to a gentleman regarding improvements at Warm Springs and potential trouble in Albany “before I depart for the Albany Tea Party.” In part: “I am sure you can work out a better plan for concessions at Public Pool. A cleaner, better looking stand, good signs, a gas station—maybe a soda fountain…We go to Albany tomorrow after lunch—then the trouble begins.” Just two days later, Roosevelt would begin his first, and only, term as governor of New York, having won a very narrow election while running as a reform candidate, hence his prediction for “trouble.” Vertical fold, several wrinkles and creases, punch holes to top edge, and small pencil notation, otherwise fine condition.
