ALS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.75 x 7.75, Supreme Court letterhead, October 7, 1922. Letter to George Lorimer regarding the unauthorized publication of a letter. In part: “My attention has been called to an article of Mr. Kohlsaat in the Saturday Evening Post in which he prints a letter from me to my brother Horace written in 1908 on the tariff…The letter is one I would rather he had not published but it is now public and I can not do anything about it. He published it without my consent. What troubles me is his statements that he got from me copies of letters between Mr. Roosevelt and me written in the period between the election of 1908 and my inauguration. If he publishes those it will be a gross breach of confidence and I write to see if it can not be presented.” In fine condition. Provenance: The Everett Fisher Collection. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
