Description

Prepping for their 25th reunion, Roosevelt writes to his Harvard class of 1904

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Harvard Class of 1904, Twenty-fifth Anniversary Reunion letterhead, May 23, 1929. Letter to a classmate, in part: “First, I desire to express my sincere hope that you will come to Cambridge for Commencement, June 16th to 20th. As you know, this Twenty-fifth Anniversary is, by tradition, the most important that will be held during our lives as Harvard graduates. It will mean everything to us to have a large attendance…Secondly, may I join in the appeal which has just been made to you by Jim Jackson in asking for a contribution to enable our Class to complete the necessary sum to cover both the gift to the University of $150,000, and the expenses of the Reunion. He reports that about $20,000. is still needed. He has written me asking my advice regarding the curtailment of the program. My answer was: ‘I am sure the Class will want the full program.’” In fine condition, with trivial creasing and soiling, and a small tear to top edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
