Item Details
Description
ANS signed “FDR,” one page, 4 x 6, June 1914. Handwritten dictation by Roosevelt as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in full: "S & A, The department considers that eighteen months should be allowed by the Government as the time for rebuilding etc. & no penalty should accrue during that period." Includes a typed letter from J. C. Wylie, dated January 5, 1947, forwarding the Roosevelt memo to his son, in part: "In clearing up a desk I find an endorsement by the Assistant Secretary of Navy to the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts on F. H. Lovell & Co. Contract No. 17112 dated June, 1911 and a longhand endorsement signed by F.D.R., Assistant Secretary. This endorsement was written from my dictation between June 25th and 30th in 1914, and in 1935, remembering the circumstances very well, I asked the President of the United States if he would be good enough to send me this memorandum since it was a government record over 20 years old and explained that few men in my humble station have had the distinction of dictating to the President of the United States." The Roosevelt memo is stapled to a larger sheet. In fine condition. Accompanied by the transmittal letter from President Roosevelt's secretary, M. A. LeHand, dated June 18, 1935, relaying the memo to Wylie.
