Description

Five TLSs, signed "Eleanor Roosevelt" and "E. R.," totaling six pages, personal letterhead, dated from 1930 to 1962. Roosevelt arranges a political meeting and dinner, sends congratulations on the founding of a new temple, expresses gratitude for a copy of a poem about FDR, forwards a complaint to a commissioner, and provides an update on her health. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by four of the original mailing envelopes (three with stamped free franks), and a copy of the poem referenced.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
