Woodrow Wilson

Description

Just weeks after the passing of the First Lady, Wilson writes to the son of the woman who would pose a threat to both of his wives

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, August 17, 1914. Letter to Allen S. Hulbert, the son of his longtime friend Mary Allen Hulbert Peck, written shortly after the passing of his first wife Ellen. In full: “I deeply appreciated your thoughtfulness and kindness in sending me a note of sympathy. It was most welcome and I assure you added not a little to the sense of comforting friendship which has followed the terrible blow that has fallen upon me.” In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling. An interesting letter to the son of Wilson’s rumor-inspiring ‘playmate”: the third most important woman in his life, and a threat to both his wives and his campaigns. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
