ROOSEVELT, Eleanor. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) to her son James about his 
ulcers. Hyde Park, 13 July 1938. A brief but revealing personal letter 
on Val-Kill Cottages letterhead from the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to 
her son James Roosevelt regarding his ulcer problem and SIGNED as 
"Mother." In full: "Jimmy Dear: Mrs. William Brown Meloney tells me she 
was cured of an ulcer by finding what foods she could not eat. The man 
who cured her was Dr. I. P. Allen, 16 East 90th Street. He is a 
specialist in diet. Much Love, Mother." Jame Roosevelt left his job as 
an insurance executive in 1937 to become secretary to his father in the 
White House. His relationships with other presidential aides were 
strained, and he was known as "the crown prince" and "assistant 
president." The stress was so great that James developed ulcers and in 
1938 resigned. This letter bears directly on this situation. About Fine 
with envelope postmarked Special Delivery. (#013008)        $500.00
