TLS signed “T. Roosevelt,” one page, 6 x 7.25, The Outlook letterhead, July 13, 1910. Roosevelt offers a surprisingly firm refusal to speak at an engagement. In part: “It is a simple impossibility. You have no conception of the multitude of requests to speak and invitations to attend banquets and reunions which I have received. It is physically impossible for me to accept even one in a hundred…I could not possibly accept more than a relatively small proportion unless I absolutely abandoned all thought of doing anything else of any kind or sort.” Matted and framed with a small portrait of Roosevelt, to an overall size of 10.75 x 17.75. In very good condition, with scattered toning, heavier to edges and some light mirroring of letterhead along bottom. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
