TLS as president signed “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, April 27, 1909. Taft writes to H. V. Jones of The Minneapolis Journal, in full: “I have your kind letter of April 19th, in respect to Senator Washburn. Senator Washburn and I are old friends, and it would gratify me much to make the appointment. But the truth is, I fear that Senator Washburn is not strong enough to meet the exigencies of the place, which, during the next four years, are likely to be more than they have ever been heretofore. Still, I shall take the matter up with Secretary Knox, and give what you say full consideration.” In very good condition, with rippling to the edges, mirroring to the text, and light haloing to the signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
