TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, May 11, 1936. Letter to Robert Rice Reynolds of North Carolina. In part: “The construction of armories is a worthwhile activity which will result in permanent improvements of a beneficial nature. However…I do not consider it feasible to recommend the earmarking of specific amounts for that purpose. The Works Progress Administration has undertaken the execution of numerous small armory projects where they were suited to the works program.” Intersecting folds, a crease to the upper left corner, and light overall wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. Though the recipient of this letter, Reynolds, was a fellow democrat, FDR raised funds to defeat him—this letter is a perfect example of Roosevelt rebuffing his recommendations.
