TLS as president, signed “Royally Yours, Franklin D. Roosevelt,” one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, April 4, 1941. Humorous letter to editor and journalist Herbert Bayard Swope, in full: "Your new form of salutation and subscription is truly regal. You must have inherited it from the Chevalier Bayard who was, as I remember it, the left-handed offspring of the Calif Haround al Raschid. Whenever I get a letter from present Emperors, Kings, Grand Dukes, etc., that is just what they do. The salutation and the subscription are also written longhand. You might pass this on to Emily Post." In the address, FDR strikes through "Hon.," and writes "H.R.H." In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
