Franklin D. Roosevelt 1937 Typed Letter Signed as President - Court Packing Plan

Description

32nd President.  Typed letter signed (TLS)
"Franklin D. Roosevelt"
AS PRESIDENT, February 11, 1937, The White House stationery, 7x8.5, to Leroy Rodman at the Columbia University School of Law, in full:
This acknowledges your letter of February 6th.  I am transmitting it to the Attorney General who is familiar with the situation to which you refer.
Thanking you for your letter and with kind regards
Less than a week earlier, Roosevelt announced a plan to expand the Supreme Court to as many as 15 justices.  Considering the letter was sent to a lawyer at a leading law school and the Attorney General is referenced by FDR, it would seem the letter is in direct regard to the court-packing plan announced on February 5.
