TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, May 1, 1923. Letter to Henry L. Stoddard, in part: "I doubt if you know how gratifying it is the receipt of such a message. Inasmuch as I have spent quite all of my active life in intimate association with the making of a newspaper I always treasure, above all else, the good opinion and the encouraging words of a fellow newspaperman." In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, corner creasing, rusty paperclip impressions, and reduced ink flow to the start of the signature. Harding bought the Ohio daily newspaper The Marion Daily Star in 1884, and held ownership of the paper until mid-1923.
