Wasn’t that a pleasant dinner at Judge Gary’s? [This was Roosevelt’s nickname for his friend, industrialist Elbert Henry Gary.] I was much amused at the fun the papers made over it. With renewed thanks, Faithfully yours….” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Roosevelt’s hand. Mailing fold lightly touching signature, otherwise fine, clean condition.
