Line 17:

The couple took up residence in North Tarrytown, Westchester County, New York. "...I acquired some land on the northwestern bank of Lake Pocantico, and built a house overlooking the lake....Across the lake was the very large estate of John D. Rockefeller and his son John D., Jr."(''F.D.R.'', p. 26) In addition, Sarah Roosevelt, Anna's grandmother, gave them an "...expensive cooperative apartment" about 1927 (Cook, p 330-1)

"In 1927, '28, and '29 there were many new offerings of bond and stock issues and I was very busy."(''F.D.R.'', p. 27) Dall was on the floor on Black Tuesday, the day of the 1929 Stock Market crash. In reference to the Great Depression of the 1930s he states (in his 1967 book): "Actually it was the calculated ‘shearing’ of the public by the World Money-Powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of the supply of call money in the New York money market."

In 1924, F.D.R. had "...made a dramatic appearance at the Democratic convention to nominate Alfred E. Smith, governor of New York for president"<sup>[[#Footnotes 2|E]]</sup>. Smith urged Roosevelt to run for governor of New York in 1928. Roosevelt telegraphed his daughter and son-in-law Dall:"Some people here want me to run for Governor of New York this fall. What do you think about it? Please wire. Love, FDR". To which the reply was: "Received your most interesting wire. Think it is a great idea. Believe you will win. Will do everything possible to help you and the cause."(''F.D.R.'' p. 31)

The story is repeated in ''The Lethbridge Herald'' with the additional information that Mr and Mrs Dall upon receiving the telegram, and before sending their reply, consulted with their neighbor the banker Paul Warburg.<sup>[[#Footnotes 3|G]]</sup>
