RARE 1938 Handwritten Letter to her GrandsonJames Roosevelt, with original 1938 postdated envelope. ******** The "James Roosevelt" collection offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century America, spanning the 1920s through letters penned by James Roosevelt, eldest son of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. 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. ********** Sara Ann Roosevelt (September 21, 1854 – September 7, 1941) was the second wife of James Roosevelt I (from 1880), the mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States and her only child, and subsequently the mother-in-law of Eleanor Roosevelt. Delano was born and raised in Newburgh, New York, and spent three years in Hong Kong. She gave birth to Franklin in 1882, and was a devoted mother to him for the remainder of her life, including home-schooling and living close by in adulthood. She had a complex relationship with her daughter-in-law Eleanor, which has led to media portrayals of her as a domineering and fearsome mother-in-law, though these are at odds with other views. She died in 1941, with her son, then the President, at her side.
