Typed Letter Signed / Typed Manuscript Signed Author: FITZGERALD, Frank D. (1885-1939) Title: Typed Letter Signed / Typed Manuscript Signed Description: The only Michigan governor to ever die in office (at the young age of 54) was this Republican politician, who served as the Great Lakes State’s 34th and 36th governor. Two items: First, a Typed Letter Signed, 7¼” X 10½”, Lansing, MI, 14 May 1936. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar). Near fine. Two faint original horizontal folds. Transmits his signature to this admirer and notes, “Also enclosed find copy of my radio address of Saturday, May 2.” Signed large, bold and in full in black ink. Accompanied by the aforementioned radio address, a Typed Manuscript Signed, 8pp (rectos only), 8½” X 11″, n.p., 2 May n.y. Very good. Lightly age toned (more so to first page only), with two faint horizontal folds and single staple hole near upper right of each page. Captioned at top of first page (and partly underlined in red pencil) “Monthly Radio Report by Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald / Saturday May 2, 8:15 to 8:30 PM, From Station / WJR,” Fitzgerald delivered these speeches from the executive office and they aired over three Michigan radio stations and Michiganders considered them important commentaries on Fitzgerald’s legislative programs. This one opens, “Another 60 days, and this administration will be in its last quarter. In less time than we may now realize, the people of Michigan will again be determining the character of the government that will be responsible for their laws and the enforcement of them, for the two years beginning next January 1. It is not too soon, therefore, to turn our thoughts to some of the problems that lie ahead….” — and he goes on to discuss balancing the budget (“That job has been done”), in-depth comments on the civil service reform (“Merit will take the place of political preference”) and on public welfare (“As at present constituted, the public welfare system is a botch — I know of no other word to describe it”), closing with thoughts on “the problem of paroles for prison inmates.” In short, Fitzgerald summarizes what his administration is best remembered for — a balanced state budget and consolidated state agencies. Typescripts of these important speeches — his own “fireside chats” akin to FDR’s famous talks — are rarely encountered. A choice, meaty example with great Depression-era content.
