Missing Evidence

While Marion returns from her assignment in Europe, entertained by Anna Rosenberg, a dynamic member of the American delegation. In high spirits, she confronts Nancy at the dock, who has been weeping, unable to tell her about the talk she had had with Eleanor. Marion invites Anna home to Val-Kill and the next day they go to give a report to FDR. Nancy is left to the side. This information is based on a long interview many years later with FDR's labor secretary Frances Perkins, no admirer of Marion. The political and the personal have collided, personal jealousies have emerged, and while Eleanor continues to exchange gifts with Marion and Nancy, the closeness has changed.
