Roosevelt, Franklin D. Typed Letter Signed as President, on official mint-green White House stationery, Washington, May 18, 1943, 1 pg, quarto. Addressed to Louisiana Senator Allen J. Ellender: "Jimmy Byrnes has given me the potatoes which you were kind enough to send to me. Nothing could be more welcome, particularly at the present time, than a bag of potatoes. I am enjoying them immensely and want you to know how much I appreciate your thought of me." Potatoes were one of the commodities being rationed during World War II. Very Fine.
