Description

“Your letter came to me in Chicago where we were still terribly worried about my father”

ALS signed “Ethel Carow Roosevelt,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, Sagamore Hill letterhead, no date, but postmarked October 28, 1912. Letter reporting on the condition of her father, two weeks after a failed assassination attempt. In part: “Your letter came to me in Chicago where we were still terribly worried about my father and it was such a pleasure to get it—and a comfort…that you remembered him in your little service of morning prayer. Now he is doing so wonderfully that we feel that there’s no need of worry.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Roosevelt’s hand. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
