TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, December 9, 1944. In full: “I have your letter of December sixth in regard to that article in ‘Time’ recounting an alleged remark by me in the voting booth. Of course, the whole point rests on the gullibility of members of the Ministry. They seem to have believed a magazine story without checking its truth, and I am sorry to say that it is a tendency among unthinking people, both as to what they read in magazines or in columns or even editorials in the press. In view of the falsity of the story, I do not think it is necessary to pay any more attention to it.” In fine condition, with light edge toning and brushing to the “R” in “Roosevelt.” The Time article, which appeared in the November 13, 1944 issue, claimed that FDR had uttered a profanity when he had some difficulty in operating the voting machine.
