World War II-dated TLS as president, one page, 7.5 x 8.75, White House letterhead, August 13, 1940. Letter to Robert B. Bradley, in full: "The matter of waiving the physical requirements so that Mr. James Sherwood, 3617 North Albemarle Street, Arlington, Virginia, may be appointed as a midshipman in the U. S. Naval Reserve, has been given careful consideration. The Navy Department has today notified the Commandant, Navy Yard, Washington, to accept Mr. Sherwood's height, 65 1/4 inches, as sufficient for appointment as midshipman, U. S. Naval Reserve, provided he is otherwise fully qualified. I, therefore, suggest that Mr. Sherwood again present himself to the above named Commandant for enlistment." In very good condition, with overall creasing, a few light stains, and the right edge and bottom edge folded back.
