TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Calvin Coolidge, State House letterhead, June 10, 1918. As Coolidge prepares for the gubernatorial election, he asks the help of a supporter. In part: “My experience has been such that I know more about the transaction of the business of the Commonwealth than about any other work. I desire to continue in that service next year. The operation of our fundamental laws must go on even in war time. We are required to hold an election. We must prepare for one…I am asking of you not merely a personal but a party service—I hope a patriotic service.” In fine condition, with expected mailing folds and light overall toning. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
