Laid in: a Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission envelope with 100th birthday observance postage stamps for Franklin D Roosevelt postmarked Campobello July 4 1982, and for Eleanor Roosevelt postmarked Campobello October 13 1984. These items come from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr, 1910 - 2001, the son of Ellen Walters Delano who was a first cousin to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Adams became a passionate bibliophile who served as director of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City for two decades and compiled a significant personal collection relating to F.D.R.. In 1969 he married his third wife who was a Swedish princess and with whom he shared the final years of his life in France. Adams' move to France explains the presence of his books in the United Kingdom. Near Fine 1982
