ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Executive Mansion letterhead, December 25, 1887. Letter to Samuel Budd, a tailor, regarding an appointment to fit his under-drawers, in part: “I have delayed writing you in regard to the pair of drawers you sent until I could see what the effects of wear and washing would have upon them…I think they should be a very little easier about the seat and hem the legs as far as the knees and a trifle smaller below the knees. So much of my comfort is…in the proper construction of ‘these limitations to Executive action’ that I think it would be well to send Mr. Stevenson here to fit them as you suggest.” In fine condition, with minor mounting remnants to reverse of second integral page.
