GIFFORD PINCHOT. TLS. 2pp. 7" x 9". Milford Pike Co. Pa. December 29, 1914. A typed letter signed "Gifford Pinchot" to "Prof. H.A. Allison": "I want to express my sincere appreciation of what you did during the campaign...One of the reasons why I shall always be glad we made this fight is the association it brought me with you and men like you throughout the State...We lost this battle, but we are not beaten. In the face of a landslide which swept away every state in the Union except California, the Washington Party polled 270,000 votes and held its organization unbroken...I am sailing at the end of December to take a hand in the relief work made necesary by the great war in Europe..." The letter is in very fine condition despite a minor pinhole that affects nothing.
