American politician (1860–1925), three-time presidential candidate, secretary of state under Woodrow Wilson, and one of the attorneys in the 1925 Scopes Trial. ALS signed “W. J. Bryan,” one page both sides, 8.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, March 14, 1899. Letter, marked “Personal,” to Erving Winslow. In full: “Your favor at hand. While I do not think it best to join in an address or petition upon the subject I shall do my full share in opposing an imperialistic policy. I notice with gratification that a growing public against the colonial idea has compelled the President to recognize that our national policy can not be changed without the consent of the American people.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, uniform toning, three binder dings to left edge, and mild show-through from writing on reverse, otherwise fine condition. American imperialism would come to the forefront of the 1900 presidential election between Bryan and McKinley, as the recently concluded Spanish American War gave the United States several valuable territories previously owned by Spain, including Cuba and the Philippines.
