Description

"Before you write the definitive history of the size and number of his fish, check with me!'

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, August 29, 1938. Letter to Frederick B. Adams, Jr., in part: "I have put off signing this until I could clean up a vast amount of official mail. Tell Mr. Blumenthal how happy I am with the volumes. I wish you, too, could have been along on the cruise. Your old man is grand company and an excellent fisherman. However, before you write the definitive history of the size and number of his fish, check with me!" In fine condition, with some very faint envelope-related toning.
