Love the election comments! The presidential election was held on November 5, 1940. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate, won 449 electoral votes; Wendell L. Willkie, the Republican candidate, won 82; Norman Thomas, the Socialist, and Roger W. Babson, the Prohibition, candidates won no electoral votes. FDR was elected to his third term as US President … the only man to ever do so.He wants a birthday list for the family … ironically his birthday was coming up on the 30th of November. Love his P.S. … Bill Huntley is going to drop in … Don’t worry until Thanksgiving … Was she worried? Why, I wonder?Why did Bernice still have the page addressed to Harry?Why did Bernice still have the page addressed to Warren?Frank was using someone else’s envelope … I can’t quite tell whose.
