Windom" as Secretary, 1 page, 8vo, on (unusual, left-handed) Treasury stationery, September 2, 1881. He thanks John T. Wilder of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, regretting that he cannot attend their reunion "owing to the President's illness and the condition of the public business under my charge." President Garfield's illness was a group of systemic infections resulting from being shot by assassin Charles Guiteau; he would die on September 19. Some smudging of signature, otherwise VG. With TLS "W. Windom," 1-1/5 pages, 8vo, on official stationery, Washington, December 21, 1889. He writes banker Thomas L.

Dana, editor of the New York, Sun, he pens, "I do not know who it is that starts the stories about my resigning from the Treasury; nor am I sure whether he is an Iago or a Munchausen [sic]. All the same, he is a liar, and he tells his lies with some adroitness..." Mounting traces on verso of blank integral page; some light stains, otherwise VG. With two DS "Daniel Manning", bank checks, one on the National Commercial Bank (with preprinted two-cent revenue stamp), Albany, February 10, 1882, for $10, to Mrs. Sarah Roberts; and the other drawn on Riggs & Co., Washington, May 7, 1885, to department store B.

545   McKinley, William Twenty-fifth President of the United States (1843-1901, served from 1897) presided over the Spanish-American War, which saw the nation gain a global empire
assassinated by an anarchist at the Pan-American Exposition in BuffaloMcKinley, William Twenty-fifth President of the United States (1843-1901, served from 1897); presided over the Spanish-American War, which saw the nation gain a global empire; assassinated by an anarchist at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo; earlier, Governor of Ohio; the last US President to have served in the Civil War. Outstanding content Autograph Note Signed "William McKinley" as President, in pencil, one page, oblong 8vo, no place (probably Washington), November 15, 1899. A telegram text written in apparent haste to Dr. Newton in Paterson, New Jersey, where he was treating Vice President Garret Hobart for heart disease. McKinley asks, "How is the Vice President today, we hope he continues to improve." A somewhat less legible version of the last word has been scribbled through. With one-cent 1898 series documentary revenue stamp with the image of a steamship (R-163), canceled in pen. With clerical notes at upper right corner. Very lightly soiled, otherwise VG. For a vice president, Hobart was unusually powerful in the McKinley administration, and was the president's close adviser and friend. As often happens, his improvement was not a sign of recovery, and he would die just six days after this telegram. McKinley was persuaded to accept Theodore Roosevelt as his running mate in the 1900 presidential election, primarily to neutralize the popular but disruptive young Republican's energetic support of political reform. The plan backfired on Republican bosses when McKinley was murdered just six months into his second term. (Image) Est. $500-750

546   Good content Autograph Letter Signed in pencil William McKinley as President, 1 page, 8vo, on Executive Mansion stationery, Washington, July 13, 1899. He writes to the wife of
the Vice President, Mrs. Jennie Tuttle Hobart in Long Branch, NJGood content Autograph Letter Signed in pencil "William McKinley" as President, 1 page, 8vo, on Executive Mansion stationery, Washington, July 13, 1899. He writes to the wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Jennie Tuttle Hobart in Long Branch, NJ, "I feel anxious to hear from you all. Affectionate regards from Mrs. McKinley who is improving." With a one-cent revenue stamp (R-163) affixed at head, partly obscuring imprinted address, cancelled with a simple slash. Undoubtedly the text for a telegram, as shown by the stamp and by telegrapher's notes at top. Mrs. McKinley suffered from epilepsy, and her husband's tender devotion to her was noted by all who came into contact with them. When she was too unwell to perform her social duties, Mrs. Hobart would take her place. The relationship between the First and Second Couples was uncommonly close and trusting. As seen in the previous lot, Vice President Garret Hobart would die in November 1899. President McKinley's anxiety in this note suggests that he was aware that his friend and adviser's health was already deteriorating. VG. (Image) Est. $750-1,000

Good content Typewritten Document Signed "Theodore Roosevelt" while President of the Board of Police Commissioners, 1/2 page, 4to, on his official stationery, New York, September 15, 1896. To John S. Wood at 15 Wall St., he writes, "I wish I could take that stock, but I simply cannot. Just at present, with my campaign expenses, I have about as much as I can carry in the way of engagements, and I cannot go into anything new. I am awfully sorry." Clip holes at left corners, overall soiling, otherwise G/VG. With deluxe printed portrait, biography, and newspaper clippings, including one of a cartoon commemorating his death. The "campaign" upon which Roosevelt was about to embark was in support of the election of William McKinley. Roosevelt would be awarded with a position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, which gave him one of his first opportunities to change history when he dispatched an American fleet toward the Philippines without authorization, leading directly to Dewey's victory at Manila Bay.
