About This Item
Washington, D.C.Washington, D.C.: , 1939 Fine. 4to. To Mrs. Thomas F. McAllister, 1 December 1939. One page on White House Stationery. An excellent wart time FDR letter sending Christmas greetings to Mrs. McAllister, director of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee: " Heartiest greetings to the valiant women whose loyal support is such a tower of strength to the Party. I trust that the splendid achievements of the past and the consciousness of services so faithfully rendered, will inspire all of our women - leaders and rank and file - to continue to bear witness to the faith that is theirs". FDR had disappointed McAllister earlier that year. He considered her vital in helping him get the political support he needed in order to take a more active part in the war raging in Europe. She was indeed very effective to that end. Later she urged him to consider selecting Judge Florence E. Allen to be the first woman member of the U.S. Supreme Court but the President chose William O'Douglas instead..
