Description

“I’m for any thing that interests the Public in beautiful things”

Distinguished American sculptor (1867–1941) best known for his monumental depiction of four presidents on Mount Rushmore. ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 7.75, Metropolitan Club letterhead, March 3, 1934. Letter to F. Ballard Williams. In part: “Thank you for your kind invitation to attend the dinner at the Roosevelt Hotel March 15th. I regret this will be difficult and likely impossible—I’m here indefinitely. May come suddenly for N. Y.—or leave quite suddenly for the west. All good wishes. I’m for any thing that interests the Public in beautiful things although generally against artificial stimulus.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
