Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Typed Letter Signed as New York Governor. August 4, 1932. Albany, New York. One page. 8.5" x 11". Executive Mansion letterhead. To Edythe H. Barlow of Atlanta, Georgia. In this letter declining membership in a religious organization, FDR writes (in part): "I am sorry at my delay in answering your letter of July 16th. I regret very much that I cannot become a member of the Circle on Faith and Gratitude. You, of course, realize that if I were to join any organization such as this it would become necessary for me to accept invitations to join a great many organizations, whose aims I know nothing about. It would be impossible for me to make any distinction between organizations throughout the United States. I hope you appreciate this difficulty, and that you will therefore understand my declination. I trust that you will convey this message to Mrs. Reynolds, who seems to be the Founder of your Circle." Extra original folds, three-hole punched along left edge, minor creases and wear, else fine.Auction Info
