This rich archive includes personal correspondence with his mother and father, as well as his grandmother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, highlighting the close, yet sometimes complicated dynamics within this prominent family. James’s letters capture an era marked by his father’s burgeoning political career and offer an intimate view of his own ambitions. Alongside family letters, the collection features exchanges with business associates that reveal James’s evolving role in financial and entrepreneurial spheres during a time of great economic change. Intriguingly, some letters also touch on his connections to Hollywood, as James maintained a notable presence in the entertainment industry, bridging worlds of politics, business, and cinema. Many letters in the collection tell a story, capturing the complexities of a Roosevelt and the correspondence of those who were close.I acquired this collection from the Profiles in History Auction House years ago. ********** Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Halsted (May 3, 1906 – December 1, 1975) was an American writer who worked as a newspaper editor and in public relations.
