TAFT, WILLIAM H.
(1857 - 1930) Twenty-seventh President of the United States and Supreme Court Chief Justice. T.L.S. as President-Elect on his personal letterhead from Cincinnati, 1p. 8vo., Augusta, Dec. 24, 1908, to Henry Coe, a Republican Senator from Oregon. In part: "…I have your letter of December 22nd, enclosing a copy of an interview as you gave it to the Washington Post and as it was printed, and…a copy of a telegram you sent to Mr. Hitchcock just before the election…I have read the enclosures with interest…". Frank H. Hitchcock was assistant postmaster general under Roosevelt, and served as postmaster under Taft. Written just six weeks after his triumphant November 3 election. Additional folds, otherwise very good.
