Franklin D. Roosevelt: Autograph Letter Signed

Franklin D. Roosevelt: Autograph Letter Signed with Original Envelope.
-November 2, 1927. Warm Springs, Georgia. Two pages. 6" x 6.75", personal Warm Springs letterhead.
-Mrs. William Hart of Columbus, Georgia.
-Letter in about very fine condition with single mailing fold. Envelope has torn lower right corner, else fine.

Roosevelt writes, in full: "Dear Mrs. Hart:/ You must have thought me extremely casual when you asked me last Saturday if I were supping with you, but your very kind note did not arrive until Tuesday morning! I think the Post Office here only delivers a part of the mail each day- it is not the first occasion./ I hope you and Will will be here this Sunday- It is much colder, but wonderful bright sunshine, & the woods are brilliant./ Sincerely yours..." The Harts were the couple who owned a small cottage near Warm Springs where FDR first stayed during his initial visit there in 1923. FDR stayed in the Harts' cottage regularly during his first few visits. When he started buying up land around Warm Springs in 1926, FDR purchased property from the Harts. The envelope is addressed in Roosevelt's manuscript and cancelled on November 4, 1927. A great letter to an early Warm Springs acquaintance.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:39036
