Description

Uncommon letter from Vice President Roosevelt

TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10.25, The Vice President’s Chamber letterhead, no date but postmarked March 30 [1901]. Letter to Mary C. Lockwood, in full: “Your letter of the 28th inst touched Mrs. Roosevelt; and I most genuinely regret that it is not on my power to do as you request. But you have no conception of the multitude of such requests made of me. I cannot begin to accept them. There are twenty requests like your’s, which if I could accept any I should have to accept in the order of priority, for they are all from people who have a claim on me. I am extremely sorry.” Roosevelt makes a pair of emendations to the text in his own hand. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope bearing a pre-printed free frank. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
