TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 16, 1928. Letter to an Indiana businessman. In part; “I am very much pleased to learn that you are supporting the candidacy of Governor Smith…My part in the campaign is the organization of the business men of the country into a national group. We want in that organization strong representatives from every branch of commerce and industry and I am particularly anxious to have the Fruit Growers well represented. I am told that you have a very influential rating among the Fruit Growers and that you have very clear ideas why it is to their advantage to see Governor Smith succeed in this campaign. We need your help and I am very anxious to have as many strong business men as possible in the State of Indiana enrolled in our national organization…Men in this category are especially valuable to us just now and particularly if they are willing to make a statement which can be used through our publicity channels.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 15.25 x 18.75. In fine condition, with some edge creases and a bit of scattered light toning and foxing. Roosevelt campaigned for Smith during the 1924 and 1928 presidential elections, and Smith in turn asked Roosevelt to run for governor of New York. While Smith lost the Presidency in a landslide, and was even defeated in his home state, Roosevelt was elected governor by a one percent margin.
