This is a letter addressed to my great grandfather and grandmother. My grandparents were Walter Graeme Eliot and Maude Stoutenburgh Eliot. It is from Franklin D. Roosevelt when he was governor. Franklin Roosevelt and Maud Stoutenburgh Eliot were members of St. James Episcopal Church in Hyde Park. They knew each other as members.
This was originally my great grandparents, passed down to my grandparents and then my parents and now i have it.
Dear Deb,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be an autograph letter signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1929. The letter is machine written and is hand-signed by Roosevelt.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
