ROOSEVELT Théodore [New york, 1858 - Oyster Bay, New York, 1919], homme d’État américain.

Lettre signée

Lettre signée « Theodore Roosevelt », adressée à M. Charles Henry Butler, rapporteur de la Cour suprême des États Unis. 18 mars 1905 ; 1 page in-4°, encre un peu passée, mais parfaitement visible. En-tête gravé « White House, Washington ». « It is difficult to say what I really think of Senator Platt without seeming to use extravagant expression. I do not know a man in public life who is more loved and honored, or who has done more substancial and disinsterested service to the country. It makes one feel really proud, as an American, to have such a man occupying such a place in the councils of the nation. As for me personnally, I have now been associated with him intimately during four cessions of Congress, and I can not over-state my obligations to him, not only for what he has done by speech and vote, but because it gives me heart and strength to see him, and consult with so fearless, high-minded, practical, and farsighted a public servant. »
