![[picture: Dust jacket of UN: Today and Tommorow]](../images/book-untoday.jpg)
Eleanor
Roosevelt left a voluminous written legacy. She wrote
twenty-seven
books, more than 8,000 columns, and over 555 articles.
She received an average of 175,000 letters a year while
she
served as first
lady. While no official estimates of her post-White House
correspondence exist, research done by our staff suggests
that she received
an average of 50,000 letters and generated an average of
21,000 letters annually from 1945-1962. (For example,
the very public
debate she had with Francis
Cardinal Spellman over federal aid to parochial schools
generated 6,000 letters in one month.) She delivered
more than
seventy-five speeches a year. She never used a ghostwriter.
