FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
In 1927, FDR signed this letter to Dwight L. "Hoopy" Hoopingarner, asking the
necessity of attending a meeting. He added a handwritten note at the bottom
giving Hoopy an open invitation to visit.
Typed letter signed: "FDR" as Vice President of Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland, New York City, 1 page, 7¼x10¼, on Fidelity and
Deposit Company stationery. Warm Springs, Georgia, April 4, 1927.
Addressed to "Hoopy". In full: "Dear Hoopy: I don't think there is
a chance of my getting back to New York until May 15th. Is there any real
necessity of my being present at the Construction Council meeting? We would have
nothing more definite on the mortgage bond committee by that time. However, if
you think I should be there why not call the meeting for the week before
Memorial Day? Always sincerely yours," Handwritten below signature:
"Let me know when & if you are down/again - Latch-string is hung/out
for you." "Hoopy" is probably Dwight L. Hoopingarner, an officer of
the American Construction Council. He and Roosevelt, who later called him
"Hoopy" in letters as Governor and President, became good friends. Encapsulated
in plastic. Lightly toned and creased. Page is folded horizontally twice and
unfolded. Otherwise, fine condition.
