This article from the Hingham Journal details a visit from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to Frances Cooke Macgregor. The article states that Roosevelt and Macgregor are collaborating on a book entitled "This is America." Macgregor is taking photographs for the book and Roosevelt is writing the text.
