This copy is inscribed on the half title: "To Grace Tully / The young lady who has contributed so much to her country during these critical years, I present this volume with enduring appreciation for her friendliness and courtesies to me and with high regard and esteem. Richard E. Byrd." Grace Tully (1900-1984) was a longtime private secretary to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She joined Roosevelt's staff in 1928, when he was Governor of New York. She communicated frequently with Admiral Byrd, as the intermediary between Byrd and Roosevelt, both longtime friends. Tully became Roosevelt's primary secretary in 1941 after his previous secretary, Marguerite "Missy" LeHand, was incapacitated by a stroke. She managed the President's correspondence, typed dictations, and handled confidential matters during World War II. Tully was with Roosevelt when he died in Warm Springs, Georgia in April, 1945. A few years later, she published "FDR: My Boss," a memoir of her time working with the President. First edition of Alone by Richard E. Byrd, inscribed by the author to Grace Tully, the private secretary to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. (illustratore). Signed.
