ALS as president-elect, one page, 5.25 x 6.75, United States Senate letterhead, January 1, 1921. Written from Marion, Ohio, a letter to David L. Pierson, in full: "I am in receipt of your favor expressing the felicitations of the New Jersey Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and pled[g]ing the support of your membership in the work of the incoming administration. All this pleases me very much and adds encouragement in undertaking a manifestly difficult work. If the sons of the founders are only consecrated to the preservation of their great inheritance, we shall not fail. Indeed we shall go on, building toward the supreme fulfillment." In fine condition, with a light block of uniform toning from prior display. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. On Tuesday, November 2, 1920, the Republican ticket of Harding and Calvin Coolidge won the presidential election in a landslide over Democrat James M. Cox and his running mate Franklin D. Roosevelt.
