The Foes of Our Own Household.

First edition, third issue of Roosevelt's call to arms rallying the United States to engage in World War I. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Association copy, inscribed by Theodore Roosevelt on the front free endpaper to his younger sister in the year of publication, "To darling Corinne from her brother Sept 19th 1917." Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was the second of four children born to socialite Martha Stewart Bulloch and businessman and philanthropist Theodore Roosevelt Sr. He had an older sister (Anna), a younger brother (Elliott) and a younger sister (Corinne). Corinne began writing at an early age, through the encouragement of her friends, in particular Edith Wharton who helped critique her poetry. In 1911, Robinson published her first poem, "The Call of Brotherhood", in Scribner's Magazine. Her first book of poems of the same title was published in 1912. Corinne was also a member of the executive committee of the Republican National Committee and the New York State Republican Committee.[2][9] During the election of 1920, Robinson became the first woman ever called upon to second the nomination of a national party convention candidate; speaking before a crowd of 14,000, she endorsed General Leonard Wood as the 1920 Republican candidate for president. Despite being a prominent Republican, Corinne voted for her fifth cousin and nephew-in-law Franklin when he ran for Governor of New York in 1928, and in 1932 when he was elected President of the United States. Very good in the rare original dust jacket which is in very good condition.
