Description

Voicing strong approval of Edward Bok’s plan to build relations between the US and England

TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court of the United States letterhead, January 28, 1925. Letter to Edward Bok. In part: “I have looked over your generous proposals, and think that you have stated your purpose more clearly than I could. What I understand you are anxious to do is stimulate in the English public, including that of the British Empire, a closer understanding of the American people and their wishes, traditions, tastes, mistakes and faults by stimulating a closer attention to American politics and American views. You effect this purpose by not only inviting competition but also by inviting the attention of the committees of award and attention of the general public by its interest in the competition…I felicitate the country—both countries indeed–that you are engaged in this work.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
