Description

Roosevelt in the dark about IRS appointments

TLS, one page, 5.25 x 7, Navy Department letterhead, October 25, 1897. Letter to a concerned citizen about an IRS appointment. In full, “As I wrote you before, it is very unlikely that I will be permitted to say anything whatever about the Internal Revenue Collectors. There is a man in New York whom I earnestly hope to see appointed to that place, and even about him I doubt if I will be consulted. I am very sorry.” In very good condition, with punch holes to top edge, intersecting folds, scattered light soiling, and a blue carbon-paper line through part of signature. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
