Biography/Profile
William Francis Stevenson was born in Iredell County, North Carolina. After graduating from Davidson College, he moved to South Carolina and was admitted to the bar in 1887. In 1892 he settled in Cheraw, South Carolina, where he continued his law practice and became active in local Democratic politics. He was a member of the State House of Representatives from 1896 to 1902 and from 1910 to 1914. He was the House Speaker from 1900-1902. Stevenson was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1917, a seat he retained until 1933. From 1933 to 1939 he was a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, serving as its chairman in 1933.
Scope and Content
This collection contains letters between William F. Stevenson and Franklin Roosevelt concerning the Home Owners' Loan Corporation and Stevenson's position on the board. Additionally, one letter from Roosevelt outlines Roosevelt's inability to reappoint Stevenson to the board because of age restrictions. The collection also contains two invitations; one inviting Stevenson to the 1937 inauguration for Roosevelt, and one inviting Stevenson to a reception celebrating the twenty-second anniversary of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union.
