Partly-printed DS, one page, 11 x 8.5, April 13, 1932. An extradition document issued from the Executive Chamber of the State of New York. In part: “I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of the State of New York, do hereby certify that I have…honored the requisition of the Governor of the State of Massachusetts for the surrender of Walter Robert Strauss, a fugitive from the justice of said last named State, and have issued a warrant for his delivery to...the agent of said demanding State, whose authority to receive said fugitive is annexed hereto.” Boldly signed at the conclusion by Roosevelt and countersigned by the acting counsel for the governor. The gold seal affixed to the lower left remains fully intact with a vertical crease through the center. Intersecting folds, moderate scattered creases, some slight soiling, and paperclip impressions to the top edge, otherwise fine condition. Roosevelt would go on to win the presidential election in November, and moved into the White House less than a year after issuing this document. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
