Description

President Roosevelt on the dearth of appointments: "I will see if there is not some place in Porto Rico that can be given him"

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, November 15, 1907. Letter to noted journalist and author Ralph Delahaye Paine, who later served as a New Hampshire congressman, in full: “I like your letter about Jordan, and I think he must be a good fellow. I am afraid he will have to be given the examination here. I will find out just what the situation is. Where does he come from? I hope not from New York or Massachusetts, which have more than their quota of appointments. I can not promise anything, for I have more applicants than I can begin to secure places for, but I will see if there is not some place in Porto Rico that can be given him. I look forward to receiving those two books.” In fine condition.
