Roosevelt, Franklin D. Autograph document signed in full, being a Who's Who in America revision form, 1p, 11 x 8½ in., n.p., 26 Sept. 1919. An update form from Who's Who in America from 1919, with the biography of FDR from a prior edition pasted on the form for revision purposes. FDR makes several updates and pens in some other accomplishments in his own hand: "In charge of inspection of U.S. Naval forces in European waters, July-Sept. 1918 and of demobilization in Europe, Jan-Feb, 1919. Overseer of Harvard University [University is marked out]." FDR was "Overseer of Harvard" until 1924. Inked editorial changes include excision of the holograph word "Democrat,"an interesting word to excise on a document of this type, given the fact that FDR would forever transform the Democratic Party in the United States. FDR signed and dated the document at the bottom. Original folds with tear along horizontal fold and edge wear; overall very good condition.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
