TLS signed “T. Roosevelt,” one page, 6.5 x 6, The Outlook letterhead, February 17, 1912. Letter declining a speaking engagement, in part: "I wish it were possible of my friends to realize my position, not for my own sake, but because then they would understand just why it is that I cannot accept all the invitations which come to me. From now on I wish to avoid making any speech that I possibly can avoid, and greatly though I appreciate the invitation from such a body as the one you represent, it really is not possible for me to accept. I cannot undertake anything further of any kind or sort now. I am very sorry." In very good to fine condition, with light foxing, intersecting folds, and a trimmed bottom edge.
