Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Typed Memo Signed "FDR" as New York Governor.-February 11, 1930. Albany, New York. One page, 8" x 10.5", State of New York Executive Chamber letterhead.
-To: John F. Curry
-Very good.
A very interesting memorandum for the Honorable John F. Curry, in which FDR is soliciting feedback from Tammany Hall regarding a judicial appointment. FDR writes: "Memorandum for Hon. John F. Curry/ I inclose a letter from Justice Dowling in regard to the Appellate Division vacancy. Will you read it and send it back?/ FDR". On the left hand margin is the handwritten notation (in someone other than FDR's hand): "Read/ No comment at this time." John F. Curry of New York was not only a delegate to the Democratic National Convention from New York, 1928 and 1932, but more importantly the Grand Sachem of Tammany Hall at the time this letter. This 1930 memo to Curry shows first hand how FDR consulted with Tammany at the time in context of appointments to various New York State government-related positions.
