Typed Letter signed: "Daniel C. Roper" as Secretary of
Commerce, 1 page, 7x9. Washington, D.C., 1935 February 15. On
official letterhead to Mr. G. Lynn Sumner, President, G. Lynn Sumner Company,
New York City. In full: "I have received through your courtesy a copy
of 'Lincoln and His Books', which I have found very interesting and
entertaining. The analysis of the books Lincoln read in his early life and the
affect those books has on his later life presents a very fascinating viewpoint.
I consider this a very interesting and valuable contribution to our
understanding of the Great Emancipator and I am grateful to you for bringing
this book to my attention. Very sincerely". Daniel C. Roper

Ambassador to Canada (1939). Multiple mailing folds. Adhesive residue on
