ANS signed “FDR,” on a White House card, 4 x 2.5, no date, but [October 31], 1944. Roosevelt sends birthday wishes to his personal secretary’s mother. In full: “For Alice Lee on her 62nd Birthday! Many very happy returns.” In fine condition, with rusty paperclip impression to top portion. In 1928, Grace Tully (1900–1984) began working for the Democratic Party and was assigned to Eleanor Roosevelt’s secretarial staff. After Franklin D. Roosevelt’s election as Governor, she moved to Albany and became assistant to FDR’s personal secretary, Marguerite “Missy” LeHand. She continued as LeHand’s assistant after Roosevelt was elected President. When LeHand fell ill in 1941, Grace Tully became President Roosevelt’s personal secretary.
