TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, [annotated 1937 on the reverse]. Typed annual statement to the "Boy Scouts of America," in full: "As the old year draws to a close and another year brings us new opportunities of usefulness we must, as faithful Scouts, renew our determination to live up to the highest ideals of the Scout Law in fulfilling our duty to God, to country and to our fellow men. In this spirit I wish all my fellow Scouts a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year." In very good to fine condition, with light toning and soiling, a few small stains, a paperclip impression to the upper left corner, and a central vertical fold. The title of Honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America has been given to every U.S. president since William Howard Taft. A fantastic association letter as FDR was a friend of the Boy Scouts of America.
