About This Item
Nicknamed "The Easy Boss" (as well as "Me Too" for petulantly resigning his U.S. Senate seat in 1881 at Roscoe Conkling's urging), this powerful New York Republican party political boss served as Congressman (1873-77) and Senator (1881, 1897-1909) -- but is remembered not for legislative prowess but rather for the political clout that made him Theodore Roosevelt's political godfather. Large and bold free-franked signature ("Free TC Platt") in dark brown ink on an irregular-shaped 4" X 1½" slip clipped from envelope, n.p., n.y. Very good. A super example.
