The 27th President of the United States was quite accomplished by the time he took office on March 4, 1909, but the accolades were just beginning for William Howard Taft. Among the historical notations attributed to Taft are a famous remodel of the White House bathroom because he got stuck in the bathtub (he was the fattest President); he started the tradition of throwing out the “first pitch” to start the baseball season; and he was the only man to serve in all three branches of the government. Presented is a nicely framed signed letter from William Howard Taft to Hamilton Holt (editor of The Independent). The typed letter was signed boldly in black fountain pen at the bottom, grading (“8-9”). The piece comes with a full photo LOA from JSA.
