I am up here where I have time to evaluate many things at their true
worth and I just want you to know that I am thinking of your splendid
work in behalf of the birthday fund. It represents a cause very near to
my heart and that makes me so much the more appreciative of all you have
done, not only this year, but in other years. For all this and for the
loyal and efficient service you have given through the years, I am more
grateful than I can say. Always sincerely," and SIGNED "Franklin D.
Roosevelt." Horizontal crease, light wrinkling. Near Fine with a bold,
dark signature. (#019600) $1,000.00
