Vintage paperstock 6.25 x 10 head-and-shoulders photo of Franklin Roosevelt, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, “For Capt. Ralph E. Ward from Franklin D. Roosevelt”; and TLS, one page, 6 x 9, White House letterhead, January 30, 1945. In a letter to Captain Ward, Eleanor Roosevelt writes, in part: “I was very sorry to hear that you had fallen victim to polio but I am glad that the doctor thinks you are going to have a ninety percent recovery…My husband appreciated your letter very much and was very happy to sign the enclosed photograph for you.” Both items are affixed to individual off-white 8.5 x 11 album pages, with a clipped photo of Eleanor affixed to left edge of the letter. In very good condition, with toning and adhesive show-through to letter, and some light wrinkling and rippling to photo.
