[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Kenneth Roberts SIGNED Letter on Benedict Arnold

[Charles Agvent]

ROBERTS, Kenneth. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) on Benedict Arnold. 
Kennebunk Beach, ME, 2 June 1938. One-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED to a Mrs. 
Woodruff on author's personal 8-1/2" x 11" stationery, @450 words with 
one sentence added in ink by Roberts. In part: "To understand Arnold, 
you must put yourself in his position." Roberts then makes an extensive 
argument supporting Arnold's actions. "Arnold was a soldier and an able 
leader. He joined the British in order to put an end to the rebellion -- 
exactly as some Southerners joined the Northern army in order to put an 
end to the rebellion.... I think your only mistake is to think that 
there were no patriots in the American Revolution except in the 
Continental army. More Americans fought as Loyalists than ever fought as 
rebels." Folds from mailing; light staining in margins. Very Good.
