Last item is in 6x6” window. It is his personal “Office of Theodore Roosevelt” stationery that includes name and address of “The Outlook” publication at the top. The letter is dated “May 2nd,1911” and addressed to “My Dear Mrs. Booth:” He also typed her name and address at bottom as; “Mrs. Ballington Booth, 34 West 28th Street, New York City.” She (Maud) was a Salvation Army leader and co-founded in 1896, with her husband, Ballington, the Volunteers of America. Her husband was the second son of Salvation Army founder General William Booth. Maud worked to improve conditions in prisons and toured the Chautauqua circuit giving accounts of horrible conditions and calling for reforms. Her actions are not specified by TR in this letter to her, but he makes it clear she has his support and the letter reads in full: “ I remember that incident well, and I am genuinely pleased at the letter. As you know, my dear Mrs. Booth, I grew to feel great confidence not only in your devotion, but in your common-sense, and this case interested me extremely, and I felt it safe to do as you desired. Indeed, I cannot sufficiently congratulate you upon having the right to feel what you have accomplished in this case. Faithfully yours” TR then penned 4-1/8” long signature “Theodore Roosevelt” and added the sentence in his hand “ May all good fortune always be yours!” Letter has one light original horizontal fold, paper is lightly toned and ink was once blacker, but remains very bold.
