TLS as president signed, “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, February 27, 1912. In a letter to Colonel Arthur E. Clarke, Taft writes, in full: “I have received your cordial letter of February 23, and appreciate your very kind invitation to make my headquarters at your home when I visit Manchester. I shall be very glad to let you know if I am able to extend my Boston trip so as to include New Hampshire. I have read with interest the clippings which you sent me,” with a handwritten note at the bottom, below the signature, in part: “Yesterday I agreed to make a rapid day visit to New Hampshire but my stay at such place will be so short that I fear I can enjoy no one’s hospitality.” In good condition, with scattered light creasing, rippling along the right edge, a few trivial spots of foxing, and moderate haloing to the signature and note below, resulting in a fuzzy appearance and transfer of ink to the blank second integral page. Accompanied by a color photo of a painting of Taft.
