TLS as president, one page, 6.5 x 8.5, White House letterhead, October 7, 1905. Letter to New York Congressman Herbert Parsons, in part: “Having waited until to-day I do not think it wise to wait any longer in the Morris matter. I took the appointment up with Root, who thinks it ought to be made. He had recommended John S. Wise, but evidently thinks Morris a better man…It is a very real regret to me not to be able to appoint him. If I could conduct public business only with reference to my own feelings I should do so as a matter of course.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 10.5 x 13. In fine condition. An interesting letter on the strains of the office and the necessity of separating personal feelings from political matters. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
