Description

Teddy on Taft—“his conduct should not have corresponded more closely with his words”

TLS, one page, 7.75 x 9.5, personal letterhead, February 22, 1915. Letter to Julius Dreher, in full: “It is a real pleasure to hear from you. I had not heard of your promotion; and I am very much pleased by it. It is a fine thing to be in Toronto. I am also interested in what you tell me about Mr. Taft’s address. I regret all the more that when tested by deeds his conduct should not have corresponded more closely with his words.” Roosevelt makes a pair of handwritten corrections to the recipient’s name. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light foxing and soiling. Accompanied by an unsigned book photo. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
