Wilson, Woodrow. (1856-1924) 28th President of the United States, 1913-1921.
Typed Letter Signed. One page, Quarto, n.p., September 5, 1912. To the Hon. Wm. C. Liller. Interesting letter, written two months after being nominated to the presidency, and two months before winning the presidential election, regarding a number of speeches on the subject of the tariff. Wilson writes:
"Dear Mr. Liller: I read your letter of August 27th with a great deal of pleasure and regret that other matters of pressing importance prevented me from acknowledging it until this late date. I have directed Mr. Vick to send an ample supply of my speeches on the tariff. With reference to the financing of the league, I would be obliged if you would take up this matter with Mr. Mc Adoo direct. With warmest regards I am, Cordially yours, Woodrow Wilson."
With its allusion to the financing of the "League of Nations," this letter has much better content than usual. Framed with two elegiac biographical statements signed by Theodore E Burton and George Wharton Pepper, incidental photographs of President Wilson and the crucial events of his administration, biographical information, and a steel engraving of the President, along with two plaques, one identifying a photograph of the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI, and another which reads: "Woodrow Wilson, 26th U.S. President, 1913-1921." Overall size 37 x 28." .
Estimated Value $500-700.
