TLS signed “W. G. Harding,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, August 1, 1916. Letter to a gentleman regarding newspaper articles. In part: “I note the difference in the head lines and observe that unnecessary and undeserved prominence is given to the unsatisfactory condition of the water in those carried by the Star, though at the same time observing that in the text of the article there is very little difference in the matter carried…It’s one of the things that can never be controlled by a newspaper head unless that head is personally supervising everything which goes into the paper. If I had known of it I should have suggested a very different treatment. I do not think there is any disposition at the Star Office to ‘knock’ either Mr. Prendergast or the Water Company.” Some wrinkling and show-through from mounting remnants to reverse upper border, and moderate feathering to signature, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
