[edit] Breakdown/Stroke

Marguerite LeHand had a stroke, not a "major breakdown".

[edit] Relationship with Roosevelt

Elliot Roosevelt's series of crime novels set in the White House during his father's tenure as President make it pretty clear that her relationship with Roosevelt went a LONG way beyond professional, and that it had the tacit approval of Eleanor Roosevelt (and Elliot himself seems not to disapprove). Elliot draws back from stating that she was his father's mistress, but many scenes in the books make it clear that their relationship was intimate. There is no direct statement of the relationship, but the inference is clear.

Of course, these books are fiction, but written by FDR and Eleanor's son, so I think we can presume that the local colour is accurate! --APRCooper 08:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
