Description: In this book, the young secretary to the First Lady offers an informal portrait of that remarkable woman that will be a treasure to those who remember her and her times. From her post in Washington and during summers at Hyde Park, Dorothy Dow observed Mrs. Roosevelt with growing admiration and affection, and her letters home are an engaging account of the life lived then by Mrs. R. and her inner circle of family and friends.
