WRITTEN TO FDR HOOVER, HERBERT. Typed Letter Signed, as President, to Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, requesting that he appoint representatives to attend a conference at the White House on child health and protection. 1 page, 4to sheet, White House stationery; nicely framed. Washington, 21 October 1930

  • Notes: "In July 1929 I called together a preliminary committee to lay out the work for a nation-wide inquiry into Child Health and Protection. This committee... has gathered facts and compiled data for a nation-wide consideration of the whole subject. I have called a national conference for this consideration to be held at the White House... The subject is one that I feel will appeal to you. The conference is not called for the purpose of advancing legislation. Its maximum value can be obtained from advancement of thought and interest in the subject, the exchange of experience and the establishment of standards and methods for the future."
