Enjoyed a visit to the FDR and Presidential Library yesterday. Was nerding out about a lot of stuff, but this first draft of his Dec 8 '41 address to Congress really stood out.
It was striking to see one of the most famous lines in American history started out as something completely unremarkable, which likely would have been forgotten.
No one gets it right on the first try, just get the idea on paper.
