[Rarebooks] FS: Four-Page Letter from FDR's Mother to the Daughter of A. W. Greely

[Charles Agvent]

[ROOSEVELT, Franklin Delano] ROOSEVELT, Sara. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. 
Washington DC, [1935]. A four-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED by the mother 
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt on one sheet of White House stationery 
folded to make four pages. Addressed to one of the daughters of United 
States Army officer and polar explorer A. W. Greely. Though not dated, 
we can narrow the date likely to March or April of 1935 based on the 
content. Roosevelt thanks Miss Greely for sending a tribute to sculptor 
Henry Bush Brown, who died on 28 February 1935: "I hope some day to hear 
that his wonderful buffalo group is placed in one of our Western 
Cities." Roosevelt also states, "I was glad to hear of your father's 
great celebration," likely referring to his being awarded on 21 March 
1935 the Medal of Honor in recognition of his long and distinguished 
career. Greely would die a few months later in October. Normal folds 
from mailing. Near Fine. (#020428) $100
