and tails. This copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author as President on 
the front free endpaper: "To/Master Roger Shaw/from a fellow lover of 
nature/Theodore Roosevelt/June 15th 1908." Tipped to the front pastedown 
is a 1908 a TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) from a Secretary to the President, 
on White House stationery, enclosing this book. Tipped to the rear 
pastedown is a 1939 TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) from Eleanor Roosevelt

thanks for sympathy expressed over the death of Roosevelt's nephew. 
Teddy Roosevelt's inscription is blotchy, particularly the word 
"Theodore," but is still quite attractive. Front hinge is cracked but 
tight; the spine label is tanned and scuffed with mild soiling to the 
covers. Very Good. 		$3,500.00
