ALS, one page, 4.5 x 3.5, Sagamore Hill letterhead, February 3, 1914. In full: “I choose all hickory; if that has been chosen, then the tulip tree. Both are straight American trees!” In fine condition, with a uniform block of toning over text and signature, and mounting remnants on the reverse. Accompanied by an original head-and-shoulders portrait of the determined pioneer. Written just weeks before the former president’s infamous Roosevelt-Rondon Expedition, this clean and crisp note showcases the enthusiastic spirit that he applied to his work as an environmentalist and advocate for the conservation of land and natural resources. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
