TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, May 22, 1944. Letter to Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam in Boston. Two weeks before D-Day, Roosevelt writes, in full: “I am grateful to you for sending me the report showing the truly extraordinary response to the Crusade for a New World Order conducted under the leadership of the Bishops of the Methodist Church. Before it arrived, I was already aware of the impact of your great denomination in this high enterprise on the minds and hearts of Americans.
“A year ago our armed forces, fighting with our Allies, had already made certain that the world would be saved from the New Order of enslavement arrogantly proposed by our enemies. Today such a mobilization of men and women of faith and good will as you and your fellow bishops have undertaken, adds to the evidence of the world-wide determination of free men that we shall not only defeat the evil things we fight against, but win the good things we are fighting for. Increasingly our aim must be not merely to resist encroaching tyranny but to insist upon a world order of enduring peace in which men everywhere may live out their lives in the certainty of justice and in freedom from want and fear.” A block of uniform overall toning from prior display, otherwise fine condition.
As the war continued to rage and stress and ill-health slowly took its toll, FDR failed to waver from his leadership role and a desire to defeat Fascism. Grateful to the Methodist leaders’ eventual acceptance of the war as a means of peace, Roosevelt stayed true to his belief that the nation must ultimately fight for a righteous cause, evident by his proclamation here that the goal of the United States and its Allies “must be not merely to resist encroaching tyranny” but also “to insist upon a world order of enduring peace in which men everywhere may live out their lives in the certainty of justice and in freedom from want and fear.” Exceptional content that, at its core, stresses Roosevelt’s determination to fight for what is right.
