Description

Franklin D. Roosevelt

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, May 15, 1935. Letter to Postmaster General James A. Farley. In part: “I am returning herewith your report and recommendations on the air mail contracts of Pan American Airways, Inc. and Pan American-Grace Airways, Inc. with the suggestion that you hold these reports until you have completed the surveys of the lines and operations or these two contractors, which surveys, I note from your report, are now in progress…It would appear wise to consider any desired modifications of the contracts at the same time that any material revisions of service are considered.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a retained carbon copy of Farley’s response. An interesting association with the postal service as FDR was a well-known philatelist. Provenance: The Everett Fisher Collection. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
