Description

“After the present world conflict has passed we will need many things of a permanent character, but just now I am putting off everything except immediate necessary defense expenditures”

War-dated TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.25, White House letterhead, January 7, 1941. Letter to Eliot Tuckerman. In full: “Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of December 28, 1940, suggesting the desirability of expanding present facilities in New York City to provide suitable headquarters for our expanding Army. It is quite possible that the plan suggested by you might prove to be highly meritorious but, under existing circumstances, what we need now is ready-to-use space. After the present world conflict has passed we will need many things of a permanent character, but just now I am putting off everything except immediate necessary defense expenditures. I appreciate your position, as set forth in your letter, and wish that I could be of help.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
