TLS, one page, 6 x 9.25, White House letterhead, February 15, 1941. Letter to a woman concerning her son and the military draft. In part: “There are many boys who have just obtained jobs and who have to leave them if their draft number comes up. In the law it is stated that boys in school or college should be deferred until June, 1941, but there is nothing beyond that. Their feeling is that except in the cases of scientific and medical students, boys can leave for a year and return without real injury.” In very good condition, with scattered toning, a few small separations along horizontal folds, and paper loss to right edge.
