Item Details
Description
ROOSEVELT, ELEANOR. Typed Letter Signed, to "Dear Mrs. Ellis," quoting a letter from Museum of the City of New York founder Henry Collins Brown concerning a lecture about Poughkeepsie and the Hudson River and botanist David Hosack's Elgin Botanic Garden, listing the costs required to present slides [using slide projector], anticipating a meeting with Brown to discuss the presentation, and arranging a meeting with her. 2 pages, square 8vo, written on two sheets, personal stationery; horizontal fold. With the original envelope. New York, 19 January 1928 ". . . I do not think . . . that we could get as interesting and novel an entertainment for as little as this . . . I am to . . . talk over the development of the Hudson River idea sometime next week, but I feel sure that with proper advertising and the aid of the Historical Society, we ought to be able to make a great success of it. Perhaps we could even . . . get all the schools to come in the afternoon. . . ."
