TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” two pages, 8 x 10.5, personal letterhead, March 9, 1920. Letter to newspaper correspondent Gus J. Karger concerning negotiations over the League of Nations, in part: “I see the President is out this morning in a letter to Hitchcock, in which he shows himself as unyielding and as far behind the time and the situation as might be expected. He goes back on Hitchcock and all the Senators who signed the agreement in respect to Article X contained in Hitchcock’s resolution; and if they had a spark of self-respect, they would allow him to assume the responsibility, and vote for the Treaty with the reservations, but they haven’t, I suppose, and the Treaty is doomed. But the Democratic party will be buried more deeply than ever by reason of this attitude of Wilson’s. His real character is being shown, and he is about as unpopular as he could have made himself if he tried.” In very good condition, with rusty paperclip impressions to top left corners, and areas of light irregular toning. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
