Two letters to W. L. S. Gordon, postmaster of New Orleans: ALS, two pages on adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.5, Lakeside Inn letterhead, February 8, 1930. In part: “I expect to pass through your city soon. I may stay over night…I wish you would get Mrs. Coolidge and me a place to stay at the hotel. We do not want anything elaborate”; and a TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, January 2, 1931. In part: “It was most kind of you to send us some cane syrup which I am certain we shall enjoy…We will always remember with great pleasure your kind hospitality when we were in your city.” In overall fine condition, with intersecting folds and a bit of scattered foxing. Accompanied by both original mailing envelopes (one addressed in Coolidge’s hand), the follow-up telegram Coolidge references in the first letter, and Gordon’s retained carbon copy of his response to the request for a hotel room.
