TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, State of New York Executive Chamber letterhead, February 23, 1932. Significant letter to Mrs. Nell Powers Stultz, with reference to his efforts to stem the tide of polio, or infantile paralysis; FDR goes on to comment on politics, alluding to the idea of a run for president. In full: "There is, as you say, a common bond between us, and I certainly hope that your fight against infantile paralysis has been as successful as my own. I am enclosing a copy of an article which gives an unbiased opinion of my present physical condition. Naturally I was interested in what you said concerning the political situation in Oklahoma. I know that I have many warm friends there, but I also appreciate the loyalty of others to a favorite son. Just now, I am obligated to give New York State all my time and attention, and that means I cannot concern myself with my own political future. However, should occasion arise, you may be sure that your offer of active service will be remembered." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
