Eleanor Roosevelt. (1884-1962). The longest-serving first lady of the United States, during her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four terms as president from 1933 to 1945. President Harry S. Truman called her the “First Lady of the World” in tribute to her human rights achievements. Signed 6x6.5 letter on personal printed stationery, February 7, 1956, to a Miss Buzzell. In full, "Dear Miss Buzzell: Thank you very much for your kind letter which I appreciate. I wish I could tell you where to find a button but I fear I have no idea where you could get one now. You might write the F. D. R. Memorial Library at Hyde Park, New York, and ask if they could advise you. I will gladly write Mr. Dow. Very sincerely yours, Eleanor Roosevelt." A nice example of the First Lady revealing her legendary thoroughness. Letter is in very good condition with light age toning and one mailing fold. No envelope. I suspect the button referred to by Mrs. Roosevelt would be a campaign button. As a bonus I have included an FDR button which I purchased from eBay. I am an expert in autographs and not buttons, so I can't guarantee the button is original.
