Washington, D.C, March 19, 1943. Typed letter, on White House stationery, signed by Roosevelt, to Miss Esther J. Lichtmann: "Dear Miss Lichtmann:/I told Mr. Wallace just before he/left that I would be delighted to see you/and Mr. Horch if you have anything special/to come down for. Call up General Watson/at any time and he will arrange things./Very sincerely yours,/Franklin D. Roosevelt." Creasing from original fold; with original postal envelope, toned.
Esther J. Lichtmann (1892-1990) was a teacher of music at the Master Institute of United Arts, a New York art school founded by her brother, Maurice Lichtmann, as well as Russian painter and mystic, Nicholas Roerich. Along with Louis Horch, who was a director and financier of the Master Institute, Lichtmann was greatly involved in the Roerich Circle, which was intrumental in the development and passage of the Roerich pact, an inter-American treaty which ensured the protection and defense of cultural and artistic monuments from military destruction, and was signed into law by Roosevelt in 1935.
