In January 1908 He Brought It To The President's Attention That There Was No Front-Runner For The Republican Nomination To Succeed Him And That Many Republican Leaders In The United States Congress Were Under The Suspicion That Roosevelt Had Every Intention Of Running For A Third Term. Leob Urged The President That He Would Only Be Able To Sustain The Credibility Of His Pledge Not To Run Again By Endorsing A Candidate. Loeb Told Roosevelt That Any Nominee Could Win If Only He Would Back Him. In Response Roosevelt Said That He Would Favor Elihu Root And Authorized Loeb At That Moment To Go To See Root And Make The Offer Of His Endorsement. Root Then Secretary Of State Was Astonished By The Endorsement But Did Not Accept It Because He Judged Himself To Be Unelectable. Loeb Reported Back To The President That Same Day To Report On His Meeting. Roosevelt Accepted Root's Decision And Told Loeb That His Choice Then Was William Howard Taft Saying That He Had The Experience To Run The Government. From March 1909 To 1913 He Was Appointed By President Taft Collector Of The Port Of New York. <br/> <br/> Harris & Ewing unknown

192386631Le Clos-Marie Roscoff Roscoff 1923. Fine. Le Clos-Marie Roscoff Roscoff 2 Septembre 1923 20.50 x 27 cm 1 page recto verso Autograph letter dated from Liane de Pougy to the French archaeologist curator of the MusÃ©e de Saint-Germain and professor of art history at the Ã‰cole du Louvre Salomon Reinach 56 lines written in blue ink on one double-sided sheet written from her property at Clos-Marie in Roscoff where the famous courtesan stayed until 1926. A small tear in the right-hand margin of the letter inherent in the enveloping of the missive; another slight tear at the foot without affecting the text. Liane de Pougy marvels at the youthful vigor of Reinach who had just turned 65: ' Many happy returns for your 65 years which find you so young so fresh so green with such playful studious feelings. My friend your youthful morals hold the secret of your physical youthÂ—as Rosa Josepha said one sustains the other one preserves the otherÂ—and this seen head-on. ' while magnifying his radiant intelligence: 'To no longer produce but to sit atop the high throne of your trophies formed by all you have wrested from instinct to sacrifice to intellectuality. Why do people always say a well of knowledge instead of a luminous column a sky a sun a star etc.Â—in short something that makes us lift our heads' She is waiting for her friend and former lover the terrible and unfaithful Natalie Clifford-Barney: Â 'Natalie plans to come to Clos at the end of September. She has a wound to heal hereÂ—time fortunately has already done part of the work! I have sensitive feelings and like a musketeer a good heart but a bad temper. This is the 1st time the amazon has truly aimed at me. Let us speak of it no more'. Liane firmly expresses her wish not to be pitied or consoled for her romantic troubles: Â 'I have suffered in silence but without resignation. Do not speak of this to NathanaÃ«l. NathanaÃ«l means Philippe Max Jacob claims who lives and works near us in the most fascinating way. '. A beautiful letter by the celebrated courtesan actress and writer Liane de Pougy recounting with restrained candor her romantic disappointments with Natalie Clifford-Barney. Â unknown
