Description

“The incalculable blessing of civil and religious liberty”

Stirring TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, February 4, 1943. Roosevelt writes to the Rev. J. M. Hunter in Lakewood, New Jersey. In full: “My hearty greetings to you and through you to the congregation of all Saints Church on the happy occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its founding. In the crisis through which our country, in common with the rest of the world, is passing one thing stands out with increasing significance. That is the incalculable blessing of civil and religious liberty. This is part of the priceless heritage which we have received through the vision and sacrifices of those who have gone before. It is ours to defend and pass on unimpaired to the generations that shall follow us….” A touch of mild soiling and handling wear, otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
