TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, June 26, 1906. Letter to Senator S. M. Cullom. In full: “Having reference to the letter which Secretary Root wrote you yesterday about the Algeciras Convention, I can only add that I earnestly hope this matter will receive favorable report from the Committee this session. I am literally unable to understand how any human being can find anything whatever to object to in this treaty; and to reject it would mean that for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution this Government will be without a treaty with Morocco. It seems incredible that there should be a serious purpose to put us in such a position.” A punch hole to top left, a bit of light soiling and foxing, and a slightly fuzzy appearance to typed text, otherwise fine condition. This treaty with Morocco was hotly contested in the Senate, with Roosevelt sending this letter to Cullom when it seemed certain the Senate would adjourn without acting. Cullom would submit a resolution for consideration, which would eventually be agreed to. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
