Roosevelt, Franklin D. Typed Letter Signed as President, on pale green White House letterhead, Washington, January 4, 1946, 1 pg., quarto. Written during World War II, three months before his death, to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen B. Gibbons of New York City. In part, "Thank you ever so much for that generous supply of black silk socks. I am most appreciative, as my supply was running low and I need not tell you how difficult they are to obtain these days…." The shaky signature reflects the President's deteriorating health. Very Fine.
