Description:
New York, 1912. Very good. (Roosevelt, Theodore) in the person of Frank Harper. Autographed Letter, Signed. The Outlook, New York, March 19, 1912. Two pages on Outlook stationery to a Mrs. James Edward Leach of Andover Mass. Harper relates that TR will not give his permission for an unnamed project that the Patent Office says needs TR's release. One can only speculate on what this person had dreamt up that no doubt used the former President's name or effigy. Still it is signed by Harper, TR's British born secretary that served him from approx. 1910 through 1914.

Nunda, NY, 1846. unbound. 4 pages (front and back) each measuring 9.75 x 7.75 inches, Nunda (NY), September 11, no year, circa 1846. The writer of this letter refers to the events leading up to the Mexican War, which was precipitated by actions of President Polk, in part: "George M. Dallas played Judas; and James K. Polk is a mere tool in the hands of John C. Calhoun & Company. I do not pity the Pennsylvanians so much, they were told better by such men as Webster, and others. The United States reach no farther north than Mason's and Dixon's line, if we might judge by the legislation of James K. Polk. He is valorous against an important foe, but as obsequious as a spaniel, when 'Queen Victoria' speaks. The Mexican War is a second edition of the slave hunt in Florida [refers to the 1st Seminole War, which was actually directed in part against runaway slaves]. $100,000,000 will hardly suffice to defray the expense of the War of Conquest..." Two-inch tear along one of the folds; several small holes throughout the text. Good condition.<br/><br/>

A letter of nearly 2500 words sent to West Point Cadet William Thompson Dutton, later a Civil War colonel, by his cousin Mary. The long letter is in reply to one from Dutton and has writing on nearly every conceivable space, filling all the margins, even over the date and salutation. Included amongst the typical pleasantries about life in Bridgeport, news of friends, and memories of days past, is a section describing her father's visit to West Point to see Dutton and his positive impression of Dutton's roommates, particularly Charles Seaforth Stewart: "I think from accounts he must be a prodigy." Dutton and Stewart were members of the West Point Class of 1846, famous for having within its ranks many of the Civil War's most outstanding soldiers including George McClellan, "Stonewall" Jackson, and George Pickett.…
