A typed letter signed “Eleanor Roosevelt” on “Val Kill Cottage” stationery. She wrote to Marion K. Garrison of West Orange, New Jersey: “Dear Mrs. Garrison: You were very kind to send such lovely flowers to Mrs. Parish’s funeral and I deeply appreciate your thought. It is sad to lose a member of the family. With my deep appreciation, I am Very sincerely yours, Eleanor Roosevelt”. Susan Parish was Eleanor Roosevelt’s godmother and young Eleanor lived with Susan for a time. The letter is in good condition with glue residue to the top margin. It is attached to the inside front cover. The signature is dark blue. b) TLS. 1pg. 6” x 7”. July 19, 1950. New York. A typed letter signed “Eleanor Roosevelt” on “Val Kill Cottage” stationery.
