TLS signed “T. Roosevelt,” one page, 6.5 x 7.5, Oyster Bay letterhead, November 29, 1915. Letter to B. N. Baker, marked at the top, “Private.” In full: “Of course I will see you; but my dear sir, I fear it will be perfectly useless at present. Normally, I should be extremely interested in the building up of the merchant marine; but I am now concentrating on two subjects, the need of preparedness and the need of Americanism, and I cannot very well go outside these two subjects.” Roosevelt’s signature fairly light, but still legible, central horizontal and vertical folds, staple holes to top left, and show-through from mounting remnants on reverse, otherwise very good condition. Accompanied by two unsigned letters to Roosevelt, one sent before his response and one sent after. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
