Autograph notes, in pencil, on an off-white 8 x 10.5 sheet, relating to expenses at FDR’s Warm Springs Foundation. Roosevelt writes: “Contingent Fund, New Buildings-equipment, pools, $300,000. Debts 75,000. Polio Experimentation 50,000 / 325,000 / Balance / Endowment Fund $700,000.” Also included is an ink signature, “Franklin D. Roosevelt,” on a 5 x 2 off-white clipped slip; provenance penciled on reverse of signature stating this signature was written “as President on White House paper” and signed by noted presidential collector, Raleigh De Geer Amyx. In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to top of notes. After contracting polio, FDR spent time healing at Warm Springs, Georgia. So impressed by his progress, Roosevelt purchased property there and began funding his own research in an effort to end the debilitating disease.
