| − | Curtis makes it plain in his book, that although he was on friendly terms with FDR and Eleanor, that he suspected they had some unsavory friends who weren't looking out for the best interests of the nation. One of these who comes in for a good deal of his attack was Louis McHenry Howe, a former journalist. | + | Curtis makes it plain in his book, that although he was on friendly terms with FDR and Eleanor, that he suspected they had some unsavory friends who weren't looking out for the best interests of the nation. One of these who comes in for a good deal of his attack was Louis McHenry Howe, a former journalist, who had hitched his wagon to FDR's star back before FDR became Governor of New York.

Anna had worked sporadically at the beginning of the marriage, mostly in promoting her father's run for governor of New York, and later for U.S. President, but falling behind in mortgage payments, Anna did some more serious work to try to meet them. An article in the ''Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune'' dated 25 Feb 1933 states that Anna was, just then, the associate editor of "Babies — Just Babies". This was a magazine of "advice for mothers" for which her mother Eleanor was editor. (Cook, p. 472) The ''New York Times'' on 15 May 1933 reports that : "Mrs Curtis Dall...has signed a contract with ''Liberty Weekly'' and will become a member of the staff and a regular contributor...." Curtis and Anna were apparently at this time, splitting their time between their Tarrytown estate and "...the Roosevelt town house on East Sixty-fifth street, New York"<sup>[[#Footnotes 3|H]]</sup> Anna casting about for some further employment, took up her mother's mantle and decided to do some radio talks, for which she was paid perhaps as much as $3,000 each.<sup>[[#Footnotes 3|I]]</sup> | Anna had worked sporadically at the beginning of the marriage, mostly in promoting her father's run for governor of New York, and later for U.S. President, but falling behind in mortgage payments, Anna did some more serious work to try to meet them.
