First wife of Woodrow Wilson. She died on August 6, 1914, while Wilson was in office, and thus served as First Lady for less than two years. Woodrow Wilson married Edith Bolling Galt in the following year. Elusive fountain pen signature, apparently as First Lady, “Ellen A. Wilson,” on an off-white 3.75 x 2.75 card with a gold-embossed American eagle. Though not an “official” White House card, the American eagle motif and high quality of the card itself suggests that Wilson indeed signed this item during her brief tenure in the White House. In fine condition, with mild toning and soiling. R&R COA.
