THEODORE ROOSEVELT SIGNED LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS
LOTS 355-363
355 ● ROOSEVELT, THEODORE. Typed Letter Signed to the widow of a
noted French author, Mme. Demolins. One page, 7 x 4 3/4 inches to sight, on letterhead
of the American Embassy in Paris; framed with a photograph of Roosevelt in Paris. Not

Edward Demolins (1852-1907) was the author of a work praising the Anglo-Saxon race. In
The Rough Riders, Roosevelt had written that while riding the train to the front, “to occupy
my few spare moments, I was reading M. Demolins’s ‘Superiorite des Anglo-Saxons’ . . .
giving the reasons why the English-speaking peoples are superior to those of Continental
Europe.” In this letter to the Widow Demolins, Roosevelt writes: “Indeed I knew and valued
your husband’s work. I wish it were possible for me to do as you desire, but I simply have not a
half-hour to myself. I am having the greatest difficult in keeping the engagements already made.
With sincere good wishes, and with equally sincere regret, ever yours, Theodore Roosevelt.”
