The former president and future chief justice on the Monroe Doctrine

TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 7 x 9.25, personal letterhead, December 23, 1913. Taft writes to Prof. George Blakeslee of Clark University. In part: “My lecture on the Monroe Doctrine was published in full in the Independent, and I have pleasure in sending you, under separate cover, a copy of it. The addresses which you sent me were of much assistance to me in the preparation of my paper, and I thank you cordially for your courtesy in this matter. I shall be very glad to receive the next issue of the Journal of Race Development which you say will contain these papers in printed form.” A touch of mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
