Description

"If the check is in Jimmy's possession I will, of course, cash it at once"

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, December 6, 1938. Letter to Alfred Winsor Weld, his personal financial advisor at Jackson & Curtis. In full: "To the best of my recollection Jimmy has never told me about the check for my legacy, but I have written him to ask about it. I take it that the one to Franklin, Jr., has been duly cashed by him though, again, in this case, I did not know of it. If the check is in Jimmy's possession I will, of course, cash it at once. If it is not, I will let you know, with the request that you issue a duplicate. Poor old Livy—I wish so much that he were alive today, for he would have enjoyed going with me on various fishing cruises. I miss him much." In very good condition, with intersecting folds and overall creasing.
