Roosevelt, Franklin D. -- Two Typed Letters Signed as Governor of New York, 1932, and Association Material (1882-1945) 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945). Two typed letters signed as the Democratic presidential candidate, both on Executive Mansion letterhead, 11 x 8½", Albany, Oct. 10 and 31, 1932. Both are written to Kenneth J. Stanford, Stanford Engineering Corporation in New York City. In the first, FDR hopes that Mr. Stanford, who had offered to assist in the Presidential Campaign, has been successful in getting in touch with Robert Jackson (Director of the Speakers' Bureau for the Democratic National Campaign Committee) and also with his State Chairman, Mr. James A. Farley. The letter of Oct. 31 thanks Mr. Stanford for the work that he has done and adds, "Your splendid cooperation cannot help but be successful in swinging your county into the Democratic column." Both letters are lightly toned. Also included are two letters from Robert Jackson and three letters from presidential assistants, one dated Dec. 9, 1932, explaining that a third FDR letter dated Dec. 9, 1932 has a stamped signature because Governor Roosevelt has received thousands of letters since the election (Nov. 8th). Additionally, a 1944 plaque from the United States Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School recognizes the "generous services of E.H. Stanford in chartering the yacht Hostess II to the United States Navy" and for his help in training Unied States Naval Reserve midshipmen, with a B&W 8x10" photo of three men on a yacht.
