[xiii] pp127 A collection of 29 letters with an introduction and explanatory notes by M C Taylor, Personal Representative of the United States to His Holiness Pope Pius XII. Fine in red cloth, buff spine with gilt lettering, protected by a cellophane wrapper within a green card slip case. This high quality publication was a gift edition inscribed by the author "To Miss Laura Delano with compliments Myron C Taylor April 12th 1947." This book comes 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.
