DS, one page, 8.5 x 3.75, February 1, 1927. Promissory note signed by Roosevelt as president of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation for repayment in gold coin to himself for his personal funding of the foundation. Document reads: “On February 1st, 1937, at the Bank of America, New York City, Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, Inc., a corporation of the State of Delaware, promises, for value received, to pay to the order of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the sum of Two Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars in gold coin of the United States of America of the standard of weight and fineness existing on the date of this note, without interest. The maker of this note may at any time before maturity pay and discharge the same, by payment at said Bank of America of the principal amount thereof, without interest.” Signed at the conclusion by Roosevelt and countersigned by his trusted advisor and onetime law partner, D. Basil O’Connor. A typed endorsement on the reverse reads, “The within-named payee waives presentment and notice of non-payment of the within note,” and is signed again by Roosevelt.
