ALS as president, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Executive Mansion letterhead, July 10, 1887. Letter to Spencer Borden, in part: "I cannot resist the impulse to thank you for your kind words of cheer and encouragement…It seems to me you…have a fair and just appreciation of my position here and what I am trying to do as much as the field in which the work is to be done. The last demonstration…amazed me; and I found in company as my only comforts to pin my faith upon the decency and the constant sound strengths of the American people. I have not been disappointed and I am today as proud as ever of my country and my countrymen. It's an awful responsibility to have the confidence of such good people, and I almost fear sometimes that men like you may expect too much of me and that I shall fall short. But such letters as yours are exceedingly reassuring and do me good." In fine condition, with some subtle overall toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Cleveland's own hand, with “Personal” added. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
