TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, City of New York, Office of the Mayor letterhead, January 15, 1938. Letter to a constituent. In part: “Please have some mercy and consideration and join with me in praying that we do not have a real snow storm. It is no joking matter. I am sure you do not know the many, many difficulties and the many costly ramifications of a snow storm…Our troubles continue for many weeks after each snow storm and even late in the Spring when we have to clean all the storm sewers. I cannot control the weather nor prevent water from freezing when the temperature drops. We get abuse if the streets are not cleaned, and we get abuse if we are on the job cleaning them before the ice can get hold.” Light diagonal strips of toning, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope as well as a telegraph sent to the same recipient the previous month. RR Auction COA.
