Original Description:
Wonderful and quite rare, 1918 Typed Letter Signed by future President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. This outstanding, hand signed Letter measures approx. 7 1/4” by 10 1/2” and is written on Roosevelt's Navy Department Stationary. The letter is dated February 13, 1918 and addressed to a “Colonel E. Lester Jones”. Ernest Lester Jones (1876-1929), was a hydrographic and geodetic engineer and Superintendent of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. He... was a regular correspondent and personal friend of FDR. Jones's career is notable for his resolution of the boundary dispute between the United States and Canada, concerning Alaska.
    The Letter is written entirely on one side of a sheet of stationary with printed heading at the top that reads "Navy Department / Washington".
    The Letter was written by FDR in response to Colonel Jones’ request for photographs of three U.S. Coast Survey Vessels. The full text reads as follows:
”My dear Dr. Jones:
    Referring to my letter of January 4, 1918, concerning photographs of the Coast Survey Vessels, USS Surveyor, USS Bache and USS Isis, in which I promised to forward you photographs of these vessels as soon as received from the navy yards, I beg to inform you that I am having forwarded to you today, photographs of the SURVEYOR and the ISIS. I regret exceedingly not to be able to send you a photograph of the BACHE, as this vessel had left the yard before your request reached me.
        Very respectfully,
          (signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt
          Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
Honorable E. Lester Jones, Supt.,
    U. S. Coast & Geodetic Survey,
    Department of Commerce,
    Washington, D. C.”
