Small collection of White House writing materials and stationery from the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, including: a box of Velvet blue band pencils, an empty ink bottle, a pad of White House stationery, a number of loose White House stationery sheets, three generic lined notepads, a few White House envelopes, and a thick pad of White House telegram paper. Also includes a Warm Springs revitalization plan booklet. On one of the pads Mrs. Bachelder wrote a note dated April 12, 1985, “This steno pad together with two others and a supply of White House stationery, typewriter ribbons, empty ink bottle, and typewriter eraser and pencil used in the daily routine of the Presidential ‘office on the road’ were found in an office box following the departure of the Presidential Party on 4/13/45.” Whenever Toi Bachelder, a member of FDR’s inner circle, was in close proximity to the president while traveling, she made certain to have these supplies at the ready.
