Description

"I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people"—FDR accepts the 1932 presidential nomination

Historic official press release of Governor Roosevelt's presidential nomination acceptance speech given at the Democratic National Convention on July 2, 1932, eleven pages, 8.5 x 14, nicely signed at the conclusion in fountain pen, "Franklin D. Roosevelt." A historic address by FDR, expressing his views on government and painting a path for American progress. The speech famously closes: "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people. Let us all here assembled constitute ourselves prophets of a new order of competence and of courage. This is more than a political campaign; it is a call to arms. Give me your help, not to win votes alone, but to win in this crusade to restore America to its own people." In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip impression to the last page. Accompanied by a secretarially signed transmittal letter from September 6, 1932, sending the autographed speech.
