Eleanor Roosevelt – LS, one page on White House stationery, January 23, 1941. Alluding to a health problem of a pre-war soldier the First Lady explains that “the localities do not have the equipment for the very intensive health examination which can be done by the Army Directly.” A nice example of Eleanor’s involvement in individual requests for help – not to mention a quaint reminder of how small the healthcare system once was or how overwhelmed the military system would become in a year after we entered the war.
