GREAT SCARCITY OF
ROOSEVELT LETTERS

New York.-In spite of Theodore
Roosevelt's reputation as a ready Lett
ter writer. his autograph letters are
very hard to get. A report TO the So

and most OF his letters therefore, are
typewriter. with only his signature
in his own hand Most of the other
presidents wrote majority OF their
letters out by hand.

plant and coal mine take all OF our

money maker"
