TLS, one page, 8.25 x 11, Kansas City Star letterhead, May 15, 1918. Roosevelt writes to Harriet Freeman in Boston. In full: “I am touched and pleased by your sending me the extracts from Dr. [Edward Everett] Hale’s letter. I felt for him a peculiar fondness and regard—I am tempted to say, veneration. Of course I was fairly brought up on his ‘Man without a Country’ and his lessons have always been vivid in my mind.” Light mailing fold touching first name, faint show-through at corners from adhesive traces on reverse, and small marginal loss at upper left (away from text and printed letterhead), otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
