[Rarebooks] FS: Scarce Eleanor Roosevelt AUTOGRAPH LIMERICK SIGNED

[Charles Agvent]

ROOSEVELT, Eleanor. AUTOGRAPH LIMERICK SIGNED. A four-line poem, a 
limerick, completely in Eleanor Roosevelt's hand on 6" x 3-1/2" 
Executive Mansion stationery, dated and SIGNED by her. Apparently given 
to an employee. "There was a young fellow called Joe,/Who thought he was 
coming too slow,/But he made up his mind to be the whole show/And now 
there's a corporal named Joe--." Mrs. Roosevelt's understanding and feel 
for politics was greater than that for poetry. A rare form of the First 
Lady's autograph. We are aware of only one other example of a poem in 
her hand which sold for $1000 plus premium at auction, nearly 25 years 
ago. We sold this piece 16 years ago and offer it now at the same price 
we sold it for then. Fine. (#018349)        $1,500
