TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” two pages, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court of the United States letterhead, August 30, 1928. Letter to Harry J. Fisher, in part: “I can perhaps give you some light on the question why rubber is not grown in the Philippines. It isn’t because it can not be grown there, because there is a good deal of land there that would make just as good rubber as is grown in Sumatra and elsewhere, but the failure to do this grows out of the unwillingness of Congress, manifested as far back as 1902, not to allow the acquisition of sufficient land for capitalists to justify serious investment…You are quite right in saying that it is a relief to be out of politics during the present campaign.” In fine condition, with staple holes to upper left corner.
