Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Typed Note Signed "FDR" as New York Governor.-January 21, 1930. Presumably New York. One page, 5.5" x 8.5". On printed memorandum letterhead.
-To: "J.J.M.".
-Very good.
A rare Memorandum with FDR's printed initials above a typed "F.D.R." with the "F" written in FDR's very distinguishable cursive, followed by a printed "D" and "R" also unmistakably in FDR's own hand. The memorandum is dated January 21, 1930 for J. J. M., and states "Raymond F. Moley for Prison Commission. See Jane Hoey's letter./ FDR." Interestingly there is a typographical error concerning Professor Moley's middle name, which does not begin with F but with C for "Charles." FDR also mentions in his Memorandum in support of Moley a letter written by Jane Hoey. Raymond Moley served as Roosevelt's Assistant Secretary of State and Jane M. Hoey (1892-1968) was a social worker, a welfare administrator and a government official. Her pioneering effort was as the Director of the Bureau of Public Assistance and later the Bureau of Family Services within the Social Security Administration. A rare and interesting item, with mention of both Raymond Moley (complete with typographical error) and Jane Hoey.
