Typed letter signed as president, 7" x 9", Oyster Bay N.Y., August 10, 1903, on White House stationery, marked "personal" writing to his good friend and Lieutenant Governor, Timothy L. Woodruff, turning down an invitation for a trip because "a trip such as you suggest means not a rest, but an immense amount of harassing extra care, simply because I am President and will be followed up.
