Roosevelt\" as President, 1 page, Octavo, upon official \"The White House\" stationery letterhead, measuring 7\" x 8.75\", Choice Very Fine. It reads, in full:\"To the Massachusetts Bible Society -- Boston, Massachusetts.I am glad to reaffirm my faith in the Bible as the ever present revelation of the Divine Will. I am among the unnumbered hosts who know the peace which come to those who turn to the Bible for help. It remains today what it has been throughout countless centuries: a fountain of strength, a source of never ending comfort and inspiration. - (Signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt\".Written just weeks before the start of World War II in Europe, Roosevelt\'s reliance on the Bible for spiritual strength and guidance is evident.

Most impressive, the superb full signature \"Franklin D. Roosevelt\" is massive and boldly written, measuring 4\" long!
