TLS, one page, 7.75 x 9.25, personal letterhead, March 19, 1915. Letter to his friend Judge William L. Ransom. In part: "I agree entirely with what you say about the Municipal Courts and with the special professional and personal qualifications of Michael Schaap for appointment as Magistrate. As Assemblyman, Police Commissioner, Governor and private citizen, I have been brought into peculiarly close contact with the problems presented in the work of these courts…I know a number of men who would make good magistrates; but if that the moment I were asked to state among all the men I know the one best fitted to be such a Magistrate, I would name Michael Schaap…If I were Mayor, I should esteem myself fortunate to have the chance to put Michael Schaap in as Magistrate." In very good to fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner, the type a couple of shades light, and slight blurring to Roosevelt's signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
