Early and uncommon ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Calvin Coolidge Law Office letterhead, April 30, 1902. Coolidge writes F. F. Haskell of Boston. In full: 'Please return the copy of the declaration I sent you as I desire to use it and it is the only copy I have. Entry day is next Monday. Let know how the Doe hearing comes out.' In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, and a block of even toning to the top half of the sheet and along the lower right edge.
The future 30th chief executive had been a practicing attorney for a scant five years when he penned this letter, but great ambitions were already rising beneath the quiet exterior of ‘Silent Cal.’ Beginning with an 1898 victory in the race for a seat on the Northampton, Massachusetts, city council. For the next 30 years, he methodically worked his way up the state political ladder, eventually becoming governor before seeking residency in the White House.
