Description:
The following item depicts a letter written by William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States, to Charles Earl Supp, dated April 19, 1896. McKinley states that his warm sentiments are appreciated and greatly returned. He invites Supp to Ohio, eager to host him at his convenience. He writes that Mr. Hanna would be glad to see Supp. He concludes by requesting Supp to write him of his plans soon.
The letter comes to the collection by Gilbert Stuart McClintock, 1886-1959, who by way of Series I: The McClintock Family, we can see in item 1.43 Item 44e: A Photostat by [Mary A. Benjamin], [1958 June 26], of a Letter by W[illia]m McKinley to Mr. C. E. Supp, [18]96 April 19, McClintock traded with Mary A. Benjamin, a fellow collector in New York to acquire the print. It is important to note that the name has been mistranscribed in Benjamin’s sale, transcribed as C. E. Supp, rather than C. E. Sapp, for Charles Earl Sapp.
The Notable Men of Kentucky, by Ben La Bree, offers a naming of Charles Earl Sapp under Federal Officers.
The Nashville American newspaper has a mention of Sapp and other Kentucky politics during the voting of William McKinley.
