Autograph manuscript, in pencil, on an 8.5 x 10.5 sheet, with a partial typed sentence at the top which reads, “order: Mr. Tom Noddy, I; his mare, II. However, I got in at the death this time also.” Roosevelt writes (with several words crossed out and changed), in full: “I was fond of walking and climbing. When as a lad I used to go to the north woods, in Maine, both in fall and winter. There I made life friends of two men, Will Dow and Bill Sewall; I canoed with them, and tramped through the woods with them, visiting the winter logging camps on snow-shoes. Afterward they were with me in the west. Will Dow is dead. Bill Sewall was collector of customs under me, on the Aroostook border. Except when hunting I never did any mountaineering save for a couple of conventional trips up the Matterhorn and the Jungfrau on one occasion when I was in Switzerland." In very good condition, with a couple of rusty paperclip marks to top, a few small pencil notations, and some scattered light creasing, foxing, and soiling.
