Roosevelt, Franklin D (1882-1945) 32nd President of the United Statess (1933-1945). Autograph letter signed, on Roosevelt & O'Connor letterhead, 1½ pp, New York, Nov. 9, 1927. Regarding legal matters, in part: "I enclose check for Mr. G.J. Duffy for $1050--purchase price of Lot 14 Subdivision A.--Cooke survey. As soon as Mr. Cooke files his final survey map…we must send to Duffy 2 deeds, a quit-claim deed from Miss Wilkins & a warranty deed from the Meriwether Reserve….we must send her $800 from this check….we must send him [Duffy] $50 in lieu of supplying sewer connection, i.e. to cover cost of a septic tank…." Fine. Mundane matters for someone who had already served as New York state senator (1911-13) and Assistant Secretary of the Navy (1913-20) and who would shortly throw his hat into the political arena, becoming Governor of New York (1929-33) and being elected an unprecedented four times as President of the U.S. Estimated Value $700 - 900
