McKinley, William. Autograph corrections as President on a two-page proof of Lives of the Presidents, pages 541 and 542, with some 40 penciled words added in McKinnley's hand on the section about himself. A penciled note from the editor, dated April 29, 1901, says, "Just received from the President. If not too late, make the changes as indicated by him. " Changes are faint, but legible, such as "Date of appt of Taft Comm. March 16th," and "add Speeches & Addresses of William McKinley from March 1, 1890 to May 30, 1900 (New York 1900)," as well as other corrections and deletions. Pages are toned, with several fold splits and edge chips. About good. Still an interesting lot.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
