Letter from Robert J. Collier to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Ex-presidents, Gifts, Guest books, Lincoln Farm Association, Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865, Washington (D.C.)

Robert J. Collier sends President Roosevelt the register from Brown’s Hotel that Abraham Lincoln likely signed on his first trip to Washington, D.C., as a freshman congressman. He presents this gift as a token of his admiration, and that of the entire Collier’s staff, as Roosevelt leaves the presidency. The officers of the Lincoln Farm Association are also very grateful for Roosevelt’s support.
