Mr. John Godfrey Saxe,
30 Broad Street,
New York, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Saxe:
Your article is exactly what we want. Do you want me to show the proff [proof] to Judge Olvaney,[1] or do you want me to send you the proof to go over it with him yourself. I will get it put up in type as soon as possible, and send you the printed proof for correction.
I think the best time to run it will be in the September Number, as I do not want to run it until the campaign has aroused preliminary enthusiasm. With it I want to make a special appeal for volunteers to do the work you so clearly point out as necessary.
Very sincerely yours,
Eleanor Roosevelt
(Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt)
[1] Judge George Washington Olvany (1876-1952) was a New York General Sessions Court judge, deputy New York City Fire Commissioner, and leader of Tammany Hall from 1924 to 1929.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT.
