Lot 238
Roosevelt, Franklin D. One hundred thirty-one (131) First Day Covers, each addressed to The White House on an envelope with embossed return address of The White House. Each is addressed to either Grace Tully or her sister, Mrs. Charles Larrabee (also a White House secretary). Most date from the mid 1930s through the mid 1940s, with a number extending past Roosevelt's death. Apparently these were collected for FDR by Grace, who simply kept up the effort after her boss died. There are a few duplicates in stamps used but with differing cancellations. Individual First Day Covers from the FDR collection have sold for hundreds. A great opportunity to acquire a huge group! Fine condition.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 4,000.
