TLS as president, one page, 6.5 x 8.5, White House letterhead, March 20, 1906. Letter to Dr. Henry W. Coe. In full: “I have your letter of the 14th instant. You know how much I have valued your kindness in the past and my association with you; but, my dear Senator, you will understand that that is not a matter upon which I have a right to express an opinion. It is just the kind of thing which the President must keep his hands off.” Matted and framed with a glossy portrait of Roosevelt to an overall size of 20.25 x 14.75 In fine condition, with a bit of trivial soiling along right edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
While serving as the first physician in the Dakota Territory in the early 1880s, Henry Coe found a kindred spirit in the young Theodore Roosevelt, there to set up a cattle ranch. Their friendship began on the western frontier and grew as the two men, both exceedingly ambitious and politically passionate, carved out their own paths across the country. When Oregon Senator John Mitchell died in 1905, Coe sought the endorsement of the president to fill the open position. Though Roosevelt hinted support in addressing his “dear Senator,” he could not express an official opinion; without it, Coe was unable to win the vacant seat. Holding his role as president above all else, while also giving a nod to an old friend from his rugged frontier days, this is an excellent letter encompassing two periods of the great leader’s life.
