Description

Grace Coolidge

Collection of five ALSs, each signed in full, dated between 1920 and 1938, including one as first lady on White House letterhead. The ALS as first lady reads, in part: “I am sincerely thinking of adding a chapter…taking as my subject ‘As a White Court Guest.’ I should make a good story of it which would not be better than you deserve—it couldn’t be.” Another, on both sides of a black-bordered mourning card dated shortly after Calvin Coolidge’s death, in part: “This is a short note because I have so many to write…I do want you to know how much I appreciate your thought and your love.” Two letters are accompanied by their original mailing envelopes filled out in Coolidge’s hand, one including a franking signature in the upper right. Also includes an unrelated mailing envelope bearing her franking signature. In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
