ROOSEVELT TAKES A MOMENT TO RELISH HIS VICTORY.
Elected President just weeks before, Roosevelt acknowledges his victory over Herbert Hoover: 'It was a great victory wasn't it!' Clarence H. Knapp (1877-1961), to whom the letter was written, was the author of Sob Ballads and a contributor to The New Yorker. Roosevelt also mentions his important early political advisor Louis McHenry Howe: 'Now that we are in Warm Springs we have time to talk it over and as Louis Howe is here I shall certainly show him the title with which you dignified him. He joins me in very cordial regards.' Howe helped Roosevelt to lay the groundwork for the 1932 victory and helped shape the New Deal programs.
