Roosevelt" which is affixed to the verso of of Albert S. Johnson's 5 September 1898 application for 60-days leave; and a military record discharging Johnson from the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry with remarks from Captain R.H. Bruce and Theodore Roosevelt, "Did not serve under me personally; is reported to me as a good and loyal officer. T. Roosevelt col 1st U.S.V." Johnson's application for leave was ultimately denied as his regiment was about to be disbanded and taken out of service. In near fine condition. An exceptional collection. Documents from Roosevelt's Rough Rider days are rare.
