Description

FDR on returning soldiers—"I am now working on a future plan for them to get some college or technical training when they come back"

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, October 31, 1942. Letter to noted architect Theodate Riddle, in full: "I am glad that you write as you did to the Herald Tribune. I am glad that Avon is getting on so well. It seems that we must accept the fact that most boys from the preparatory schools will go directly into the Army or Navy—but I am now working on a future plan for them to get some college or technical training when they come back. Thank you for telling me about the photograph taken in the Dust Bowl. I already have one of them in my collection." In very good to fine condition, with some light toning and staining. Accompanied by an unsigned postcard photo of the Roosevelt clan. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
