Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Autograph Endorsement Signed "FDR".-June 25, 1926. New York, New York. One page. 8.5" x 11". On Roosevelt & O'Connor letterhead.
-To: Franklin D. Roosevelt in Marion, Massachusetts, from his law partner D. Basil O'Connor.
-Slightly toned with two filing holes along the left margin (not affecting text) and two vertical and one horizontal fold creases. Very good.
In this typed letter Roosevelt's partner, "Doc" O'Connor writes: "You will be glad to know that on a retrial/ the McLean boy was acquitted." At the bottom of the letter FDR writes: "Dear Doc/ Hope we got something in the/ way of a fee out of this!/ No word from Hart as to his visit/ FDR". The law firm's docket stamp appears in the upper right corner. FDR received treatment for his polio in Marion, Massachusetts and it is apparent that O'Connor sent the letter to Franklin while he was on one of his periodic visits to seek treatment there from Dr. MacDonald.
