Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 15.25 x 18.75, January 16, 1907. President Roosevelt appoints Renier J. Straettan as "Assistant Surgeon in the Navy, with the rank of Lieutenant, junior grade." Signed at the conclusion by Roosevelt, and countersigned by Victor H. Metcalf. Blue Navy Department seal remains affixed to lower vignette. In very good to fine condition, with creasing to the lower right corner, paper loss to the upper left corner, and a bit of adhesion trouble to Roosevelt's large signature. Naval documents signed by President Roosevelt are among the most desirable given his brief yet notable tenure as Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
