DS as president, signed “Franklin D. Roosevelt,” one page, 8.5 x 11.5, June 28, 1934. In part: “I hereby authorize Laurence A. Steinhardt, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Sweden, to effect with any person or persons duly authorized thereto by the Government of Sweden, the exchange of my ratification for that of the Government aforesaid, of the Supplementary Extradition Treaty between the United States of America and Sweden, concluded at Washington, May 17, 1934.” Countersigned by Secretary of State Cordell Hull with the official white seal affixed. The document is affixed to a slightly larger page. Rippling, a few light bends, and strips of edge toning from previous display, otherwise fine condition. FDR appointed Steinhardt US Minister to Sweden in 1933. In the years to follow, he would serve Peru, the USSR, Turkey, Czechoslovakia, and Canada in the same capacity, proving himself a motivated humanitarian in the rescue of Hungarian Jews in Bergen Belsen, and aiding prominent European intellectuals flee to refuge in Turkey.
