TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, State of New York Executive Chamber letterhead, November 29, 1929. Letter, sent from Warm Springs, to R. H. Taylor at Roosevelt and O’Connor. In full: “The two checks for the sale of the lots to Miss Lehand and myself were sent to you from Albany about ten days ago. Will you have another look for them—$500 each. I will send you the statement of the Patient’s Aid Fund up to date within a few days.” A uniform shade of toning, two punch holes to left edge, and an office stamp to top right, otherwise fine condition. In 1923, FDR embarked on an affair with his young secretary, Marguerite A. “Missy” LeHand (1898–1944), which was to last for the remainder of their lives. Though it was scarcely whispered about in the press in the pre-Watergate era, the liaison was an open secret among FDR’s associates and family.
