1938 Desk Donation Franklin Letter Mail Marguerite Roosevelt Secretary Washington Dc Dime
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Marguerite LeHand, the personal secretary to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in her element. Taken in January 1938, the image showcases LeHand diligently organizing a pile of mail containing generous donations for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Leaning over her desk in Washington DC's bustling interior, she exudes an air of determination and efficiency. Her focused gaze reflects her commitment to ensuring that every letter is handled with care and attention. As FDR's trusted confidante and gatekeeper, LeHand played a crucial role in managing his correspondence. This particular task involved sorting through letters containing contributions for the March of Dimes campaign – a fundraising initiative aimed at combating polio. The composition highlights not only LeHand's dedication but also the immense impact that these donations had on fighting infantile paralysis during this era. Each dime enclosed within those envelopes represented hope for countless children affected by this debilitating disease. Photographed by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, this print serves as a poignant reminder of both Marguerite LeHand's invaluable contribution to FDR's administration and the collective effort made by ordinary Americans towards improving public health.
