1941 American Newspaper Editor and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels Typed Letter Signed

Descripción

In this effusive December 1, 1941 letter, Josephus Daniels, the American newspaper magnate expresses his thanks to one of his fans. The typed letter reads in part: "'Pleasanter words never blotted paper' than those contained in your very cordial and gracious letter of November 26th. I appreciate very much your expression and approval of the service I sought to render our country in the capital of our nearest neighbor. Your letter shows a kindness of heart." Josephus Daniels (1862-1948) controlled North Carolina's largest newspaper, the Raleigh News and Observer, for many years. A staunch Democrat, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Daniels to serve as Secretary of the Navy (1913-1921) during World War I, his Assistant Secretary being Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Later, as President himself, Roosevelt appointed Daniels Ambassador to Mexico, a position he held from 1933 until the month before this letter was written in 1941. Ostensibly, Daniels is referring to his service in Mexico in this letter. Typed on a 10 1/2" x 7 1/4" sheet of "The News and Observer Josephus Daniels, President Raleigh, N. C." imprinted stationery. Condition: Mailing fold lines, mounting remnants on verso with slight bleed through to recto. Overall good condition with a neat, bold signature. N° de ref. del artículo A01484
