TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, June 24, 1933. Letter to Joseph B. Eastman, the Federal Coordinator of Transportation, in full: “My very hearty congratulations to you on the splendid solution of the railroad wage problem. Yesterday I signed and sent back to you the authorization for setting up your staff. As a matter of record, I hope you will keep in touch with Secretary Roper on your appointments to the more important places under you.” In fine condition, with a tiny hole to the upper left corner.
In June 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Pulpit Harbor while on a sailing trip to Campobello Island, New Brunswick. The president, as skipper, and his crew, which included his son, James, traveled aboard the Amberjack II to Pulpit Harbor. One reason for the Amberjack to stop in Pulpit Harbor was to collect the White House mail, sent specially to North Haven. The island's postmaster, Herman Crockett, delivered the mail to the Amberjack and also brought along the Haven's Inn register, which he asked Roosevelt to sign as President U. S. Grant did during his 1873 visit to North Haven.
