I have a couple of FDR autographed letters (one as Governor, one as President) which the original recipient laminated to wood backings in the 1940's and hung on their wall. Just wish they would have framed them instead. A great deal of FDR's correspondence was secretarially signed, but these ones weren't. I found them at a country auction as a kid, thrown together with a bunch of worthless frames. Paid $12 each and went into it knowing they were unsalvageable. Still a great find for any youngster.
