Description

"I do not feel that I ought to give away an autograph—for the autographs have a money value"

Three items signed by Cleveland: an official Executive Mansion card, signed "Frances F. Cleveland"; an ALS signed "Frances F. Cleveland," two pages on two adjoining sheets, Executive Mansion letterhead, November 6, 1895, in part: "The brush came this morning & I will send it on to Mr. Gilder today so he will surely get it. It is very pretty"; and an ALS signed "Frances F. Cleveland Preston," one page both sides, 6 x 9.5, Westland letterhead, June 8, 1916, in part: "I received from you a short time ago, a letter asking me for an autograph of Mr. Cleveland. At the present moment I am so much interested in the Great Allies Bazaar in New York for the suffering soldiers on the other side of the water, that I do not feel that I ought to give away an autograph-for the autographs have a money value, which I am only to glad to contribute to the cause." In overall fine condition, with a few minor stains to letters.
