Description

TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court of the United States letterhead, August 24, 1921. Letter to American painter Albert Rosenthal, in part: "I had a letter from Leslie's Magazine before I received yours, requesting that I give you a sitting for a charcoal sketch. I wrote them, what they will doubtless forward to you, a suggestion that I could perhaps give you a sitting in Cincinnati on either the 31st of August or the first or second of September, when I expect to be there, at my brother's house, 316 Pike Street, during the annual meeting of the American Bar Association." In very good condition, with creasing, tack holes, short edge tears, and old repairs to folds on the reverse. Accompanied by a print of the charcoal sketch, bearing a facsimile signature.
