TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10.25, Police Department of the City of New York letterhead, January 30, 1896. Letter to Winthrop Chandler, in full: "Your letters are always an oasis in the dismal desert of my correspondence. Is your unfortunate saloon tenant a reality or a fake? How would Monday do for lunch. If convenient will you ask Grinnell for that time? But make it near here; I should suggest the St. Denis, where they have a restaurant more suited to your sybaritic taste than the Vienna Restaurant?" Roosevelt makes a few handwritten corrections, and writes out the last three words of the letter. Chandler writes and initials a note to George B. Grinnell in the lower margin concerning the proposed luncheon. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, and light creasing and soiling.
