TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, October 8, 1924. Coolidge writes to Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. regarding the financial affairs of the Veterans Bureau. In part: “I agree with you as to the needs of the country, and I have faith that we shall progress in the direction which you indicate…. As a business man, you no doubt comprehend the difficulty of getting faithful and efficient service. That difficulty is very much greater when the service is required by the Government…. I know that all the departments of the Government need constant supervision and most watchful care. When we remember that the Veterans Bureau spends well over $1,000,000 each day, we get some idea of the enormous scope of its activities.” In fine condition, with usual mailing folds, a few bends, and light scattered soiling and toning.
