In full: "Thank you very much for your letter. I am glad to know that
you held my husband in such respect and esteem and I am deeply grateful for the
kind things you say about him. I am sorry that I do not have a photograph which
I could send you. I only had a few pictures at the time of my husband's death
and these were given away months ago. All I have left are those which belong to
the family." Eleanor Roosevelt's husband, President Franklin D.

known as "First Lady of the World" for her humanitarian efforts, including
getting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations.
