Roosevelt, Theodore. (1858-1919) 26th President of the United States.
Autograph Letter Signed. Two pages, folded Octavo, on his green-imprinted Sagamore Hill stationery, September 1, 1913. To Constance von Strumm. Exuberant letter accepting a request to become Godfather to his friend's newly-born child. Roosevelt writes, in full:
"Three cheers for the second boy! Indeed I shall be very glad to be his godfather; we are sending him a trifling remembrance. Mrs. Roosevelt is as much pleased as I am. Ethel was as delighted with what she saw of you and your husband -- to whom pray give my warmest regards. I do hope you will both soon be in America. With hearty thanks, and many congratulations, I am faithfully yours, Theodore Roosevelt."
A few slight ink smudges made by Roosevelt as he boldly penned this letter; creamy age-toning, else fine.
Estimated Value $750-1,000.
