TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, April 9, 1941. Letter to Judge Dow Beekman of New York. In part: “I do not have down here my copies of the Beekman genealogy and the Roosevelt genealogy and, therefore, I cannot answer your questions off mind…I, too, am descended from the Beekman’s—not the Henry Beekman who founded Rhinebeck, but his uncle, Gerard Beekman. I remember vaguely that one of the Roosevelt’s married a Low. Probably she was a daughter of the first Nicholas Roosevelt, judging by the date of their marriage.” In fine condition, with light toning and a wonderfully bold signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and a period snapshot of Roosevelt. An interesting letter with desirable genealogical content. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
