TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 5.5 x 9, War Department letterhead, December 21, 1906. Letter to noted Evening Post journalist O. G. Villard, in full: “Mr. Lowry tells me that in some way or other a statement has been made in the New York papers containing a reference of your private letter to me on the Pershing matter. I am greatly surprised at this, for I communicated nothing about the letter except to Senator Warren, upon whose silence with respect to the matter I thought I could certainly count. I shall ask Senator Warren about it as soon as I can see him.” Taft adds a handwritten postscript, “I told Lowry I had shown your letter to the President but I do not think I did.” In fine condition.
