Description

Sending thanks for a “kind message of sympathy”

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, September 21, 1916. In full: “May I not thank you most warmly and sincerely for your kind message of sympathy?” Wilson’s first wife, Ellen, died on August 6, 1914; the message he refers to was, perhaps, a belated expression of condolence on her death. In very good condition, with signature a shade light, light soiling, diagonal fold, mailing fold touching signature, and tear to blank portion at upper right. Many of the faults can easily be minimized in a framed presentation. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
