Thanks for the info. I did not think, nor did I imply that the Anna Eleanor Roosevelt stamp was a real signature.

Roosevelt was a reknowned philatelist. As noted on the back of the envelope, his collection was sold in 1946. Items out of his collection carry a small premium. J. Dunlop may have been a postal employee who assisted Roosevelt in obtaining FDC's from the site of issue. He lived about 10 blocks from the American Red Cross HQ and about 15 minutes from the main post office at Mass Ave and North Capitol St. next to Union Station in Washington, D.C. He lived in an apartment building at the time. Other famous stamp collectors - King George V, Prince Ranier III of Monaco, Queen Elizabeth, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch and Francis Cardinal Spellman. Spellman's collection is housed in the Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History on the campus of Regis College in Weston, MA. A nice little museum and research library. I lived a few miles from it.
Dan, I did not think you were suggesting that Eleanor's signature was real. I was writing so I thought I would add that for everyone else.
