Description

"I cannot express myself for publication about other than public matters, except upon extraordinary occasion"

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, January 5, 1914. Letter to the editor of The Public Ledger of Philadelphia, in full: "You may wonder why I did not respond to your telegram of January fourth about the death of Doctor Weir Mitchell, because, of course, my admiration for Doctor Mitchell was very great and sincere. I did not reply because I am so often and so much appealed to in this way that I have simply been obliged to make the rule that I cannot express myself for publication about other than public matters, except upon extraordinary occasion." In fine condition.
