This article presents information on the book "F. D. R., His Personal Letters: Early Years," edited by Elliott Roosevelt. Even the childhood letters of a great man possess a special fascination, and the youthful correspondence of former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt is no exception. Few of the letters contain so much of substantive interest; but, in bulk, they are remarkably successful in evoking the remote world which shaped Roosevelt's manners and impulses and without which his subsequent course cannot be understood. They show a youth not at all unhappy in his patrician, Edwardian environment.
