ROOSEVELT, FRANKLIN D.
(1882 - 1945) Thirty-second President of the United States who instituted the ""New Deal"" programs and who led the United States through most of World War II. Fine content T.L.S. as Governor during his first campaign for the Presidency, on Executive Mansion letterhead, 1p. 4to., Albany, Sept. 10, 1932 to Fred Darvill, a supporter who has sent Roosevelt a copy of an attack on him. In part: ""...Thank you for sending me that virulent attack upon me....In the same mail I received a similar broadside saying I was violently against members of the Catholic Church. Naturally, neither bit of propaganda is true! There is very little that I can do personally to stop this type of propaganda, but I fell that my attitude against religious intolerance...in answer enough to its implication. I am counting on my good friends to counteract such malicious misinformation in their own circles..."". Boldly signed and very good, a great example written during a particularly contentious campaign.
