Description
Eleanor Roosevelt: Typed Letter Signed with Holograph Addition.-April 19, 1945. Washington, D.C. One page. 5.5" x 6.75". On embossed White House mourning stationary.
-To: Miss Julia A. Parker, Baltimore, Maryland.
-With a central horizontal fold crease, otherwise bright and in fine condition with the original transmittal envelope.
Written exactly one week after Franklin's death and as she was arranging her move from the White House, Eleanor extends her thanks to a friend for a donation to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Though she must have been suffering greatly from the loss of her husband, Eleanor, ever gracious, pens a personal note at the bottom of the letter: "Do come & see me at Hyde Park/ this summer." An intensely personal letter written at a time of great loss to not only Eleanor but to the entire country.
