Scope and Content

This collection consists of a single letter, May 21, 1934, on White House stationery, from Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) to author Pendleton Hogan , Washington, D.C., thanking him for his Mother's Day greeting, with its envelope and Hogan's place card from a 1934 White House dinner. The note was written in response to Hogan's "thank you" note after dining at the White House one Sunday evening early in May 1934 which casually mentioned Mother's Day.
