[ Autograph ] Franklin D. Roosevelt T.L.S. as Assistant Secretary of the Navy on official letterhead, lp. 4to., Washington, Jan. 29, 1915 to Hon. Clayton Wheeler. In part: "...We wrote a letter to Truman Lewis at Sydney asking for his biography, and he replies that he is 72 years old. How would it be for us to write a little note commending him to the Postmaster General and getting a reply regretting that his age makes his appointment absolutely impossible, and forwarding him a letter? under the rules a man of his age would not be considered...' Ex-Forbes collection, very good.
