Description

Hand-corrected letter from President Roosevelt

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, July 22, 1903. Typed "Personal" in the upper left, a letter to John A. Sleicher, an editor of Leslie's Weekly, in full: "I thank you cordially for your letter and your interesting editorial. I earnestly hope the financial experts can get together." Roosevelt makes a single correction to the text, and then adds the final sentence and the closing in his own hand: "If they do, I'll back this scheme of course. With warm regards." In very good to fine condition, with old tape along the top back edge, and a block of light toning from prior display.
