TLS signed “T. Roosevelt,” one page, 6.5 x 7.75, The Overlook letterhead, October 3, 1910. Roosevelt eloquently declines an invitation. In part, “I have received literally thousands of similar requests…it has proved impossible for me to accept one in a hundred…you have no conception of the strain it is upon me even to accept the very limited proportion that I am physically able to accept, and I could not…accept more of the invitations that come to me without absolutely abandoning all thought of any other work.” In fine condition, with expected mailing folds, some scattered light soiling and a few corner creases. R&R COA.
