Description

Eleanor Roosevelt

Four one-page TLS, three on White House letterhead, 1936–1941, all to Ruth George of Maine. Roosevelt makes references to David and Maude Gray (Roosevelt’s aunt and her husband; in 1940, FDR appointed David as wartime ambassador to Ireland). One letter reads in part: “I have just had letters from David and Maude. They are having a hard time with food scarce and many people to entertain. They seem to keep well, however. I am concerned, too, for them, but there is so little one is not concerned about these days....” Accompanied by three of the original mailing envelopes. In fine condition overall. RRAuction COA.
