    I have 3 sets of letters, 2 signed from Pierre F. Stockler Master Mason talking about Franklin D Roosevelt’s son James being indoctrinated into Master mason status the week before he was president February 22, 1933 and February 27, 1933. The third letter is a reply letter from Louis Howie on the first day Franklin D Roosevelt was president, March 3, 1933. It was sent from the Governors Mansion in New York, they had yet to even move into the White House. I’m curious on the value of this piece being it is the only one in existence, the time frame, the signatures and the fact it is Mason-President related. Pictures are attached. Thanks for any feedback, have a great day.

    President Roosevelt was a noted free mason and this page shows a photograph of FDR and his two sons James and Franklin Jr at the Architect Lodge in 1935:

    If your documents are authentic, then they are part of American history and pretty much priceless. I’m not sure I want to estimate what someone is willing to pay for them, since they would be of interest to Free Mason collectors and FDR collectors.

    Where did you get them?

    I got them cleaning out a place where everything left was trash. there were 4 Mason meeting logs dating back to 1850, Those were found inside the pages of one of the books. I don’t agree with what the Masons are and continue to be, that’s why I would rather sell it.
