Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Typed Letter Signed as New York Governor. August 11, 1930. Albany, New York. One page. 8" x 10.5". State of New York letterhead. To Honorable Sanford Bates of the Justice Department, Washington, D.C. In this brief letter to Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Director Sanford Bates, FDR writes (in part): "Many thanks for your note. I hope that you will have a delightful trip. Do come and see me when you get back in the autumn." Bates, his assistant James V. Bennett, Attorney General Homer Cummings, and FDR saw how prisons acted as crime factories and thought there might be better ways to protect the nation against the mistakes of "the man who is a criminal by force of circumstances, the accidental offender, the feeble-minded, the under-privileged and the sorely tempted." Original folds, four rectangular hole punches and minor wear along left edge, else near fine. Includes a COA from Gallery of History, Inc.Auction Info
