Description

On the "next Presidential campaign"—"I am not, in any shape, manner or form, considering anything except my duties as Governor"

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, State of New York Executive Chamber letterhead, November 15, 1930. Letter to Frank H. Mott, in part: "I am very grateful to you for your nice letter of congratulations. It was good of you to think of me and I appreciate it. I am, of course, complimented by your suggestion, looking to the next Presidential campaign, but I am very sincere in what I said to the papers the other day, that I am not, in any shape, manner or form, considering anything except my duties as Governor." In very good condition, with creasing, intersecting folds, file holes, a paperclip impression to the top edge, a short tear to the right edge, and toning from prior display. Accompanied by Mott's retained carbon copy of his initial letter. From the collection of Stephen Adamson.
