ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. (1882-1945). Typed letter signed ("Franklin D Roosevelt"), as President. Washington, DC, 21 April 1933.

One page, on bifolium, 7 x 8 7/8 in., old folds and soiling. Addressed to the Postmaster General.

In full: "The item in my collection which for me will always have the greatest personal historic interest is the Newburgh Commemorative Stamp, the first copy of which comes with your letter from Newburgh. I shall always remember that it is the first stamp to be issued under the administration of my Postmaster General, to whom I send my affectionate regards."

Roosevelt appointed James A. Farley to the position of postmaster general in 1933. The president's fondness for stamp collecting made him particularly interested in the position, and the two men sometimes exchanged ideas for stamp designs.
