ALS, one page, 6 x 6.75 (possibly trimmed), Warm Springs letterhead, May 3 [1927]. Roosevelt writes to Mr. Crowley. In part: “Mr. Curtis’ salary during 1926 was …$5,833.33. In addition he was paid for travel expenses $210.” Secretarial ink stamp and file holes touching a few words of text, notation to top, otherwise fine condition.

Out of politics, Roosevelt spent three years looking for any means possible to walk again. Sold upon the healing powers of Warm Springs after visiting in 1924, Roosevelt purchased the resort in 1926 for the hefty sum of $200,000, two-thirds of his personal fortune. He immediately began operating it and in 1927 formed The Georgia Warm Springs Foundation to do so. A superb example showing FDR’s firsthand active interest and participation in the financial goings on concerning the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation.
