Typed Letter Signed as Governor of New York. One page, Quarto, Executive Mansion letterhead, Albany, New York, September 26, 1932. Written to Thomas Terral, in the midst of campaigning for the 1932 presidential election, this letter finds Roosevelt gathering the confidence and support of the Democratic leadership which would soon propel him into office. Roosevelt writes, in full:

"My dear Mr. Terral: Your good letter of September 12th has been forwarded to me on my Western trip, and I want to take a moment while on route to thank you for your confidence in me as expressed in your letter to Mr. Allen. I can only say that if I am elected, I shall do all in my power toward its fulfillment. May I assure you that I greatly appreciate your support, and know I can count on the good Democrats of Arkansas, together with the other progressive thinking voters, to do their full share in placing your great state well in the forefront in our victory this fall. Very sincerely yours, Franklin D. Roosevelt." .
