ALS as president signed “Wm. H. Taft,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, White House letterhead, August 19, 1911. In a letter to Mrs. Nicholas Anderson in Bar Harbor, Maine, Taft writes, in full: “I was very glad to fine the opportunity to appoint Larz. I have not doubt he will reflect credit on the country and the Administration responsible for his selection. I wish we could visit Bar Harbor this Summer but my time is so short that we may have to give it up. With the hope that you are deserving the same aid to health as always from Mt. Desert.” Some light creasing, an area of soiling along the second page, slight surface loss along the hinge from previous adhesive mounting and two small strips of mounting remnants on the reverse, otherwise fine condition. On August 12, 1911, President Taft appointed Larz Anderson as US Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Belgium. Larz’s mother, Elizabeth Coles Kilgour Anderson, was actually married to the brother of Helen Herron Taft. A remarkable letter in both scarcity and association!
