Theodore Roosevelt Handwrites:
 
"Dear Judge 
As I am holding court, will you pardon this scrawl Of course it isn't true; it is an absurd untruth; I never said anything even remotely resembling it, and never made any statement which could be twisted into it. It is a pure invention, you are very welcome to use this in any way you please. Sincerely yours 
Theodore Roosevelt".
