NOTE 2:
LETTER from Frederic A. Delano, Washington, D.C. January 7,
1938; Mrs. Alberta S. Hackett; 603 Main Street; Reading,
Massachusetts; My dear Mrs. Hackett: My sister Mrs.
Roosevelt, The President's mother, has asked me to answer
your letter addressed to her some time ago, and without
date. As you perhaps know, the Delano family had a genealogy
prepared some years ago in 1899, and while it has a good
many inaccuracies, it is the sole book of reference that I
know of on the subject. I am well acquainted with the Mr.
Preston Delano who is at the head of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, and lives in this city. I do not know whether
the Preston Delano to whom you refer in your letter, your
great grandfather, was a close relative of the Preston
Delano whom I know, but I worked out his genealogy in
comparison to my own, and I enclose herewith a typewritten
copy which gives this information. You will note from this
that Mr. Preston Delano and The President are fifth cousins/
I trust that this will give you the information that you
wish. Yours very truly, (signed) Frederic Delano; Enclosure:
Genealogy from letter enclosure. |
