TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, March 26, 1934. Letter to Frank L. Humphreys, in full: "I am delighted with the painting and it is hanging in a place of honor in my study. I shall be very happy to have the small plate to attach to it. I have another painting of the U.S.S. Ohio done in very much the same style and I take it that it is probably by the same artist. Incidentally, your painting hangs close to the glass case in which rests my much treasured Cincinnati medal." In fine condition.
