Autograph Letter Signed ("Wm H Taft") as President, 2 pp written on single side of leaf only, 4to (conjoining leaves), Beverly, MA, July 14, 1910, to Mr. Baker, on White House stationery, tipped at centerfold to album leaf, a little staining near fold. Taft thanks Baker for an introduction he had given last March and notes: "The hopes we all expressed at that time have been realized to the extent of putting the inhabitants of 70,000,000 acres on a legal basis. We must now settle down for a calm solution of the difficult problems that are presented in fixing the proper disposition of these lands ... We must avoid factional differences and sacrifice our pride and vanity to the public good." Provenance: The Presidential Autograph Collection of Alfred L. Baker.
