Autograph manuscript, in pencil, signed twice, “FDR,” one lightly-lined 8 x 10.25 yellow page. Roosevelt writes a list of names of Democratic Senators and others, including Key Pittman, Democratic Senator from Nevada (whose name is written and then crossed out); Kenneth Douglas McKellar, Democratic Senator from Tennessee (whose name is bracketed with Pittman's); Dennis Chavez, Democratic Senator from New Mexico, whose name is followed first by a question mark and then by FDR's initials; and Guy Gillette, Democratic Senator from Iowa, whose name is followed by notes and a check mark. Present also are four other names with notes beside them possibly indicating their voting position. Scattered creases and wrinkles, coffee ring to bottom edge, a couple small tears to top left, and brushing to one set of initials, otherwise very good condition.
