Description

Harding’s letter of thanks for well-wishes during the First Lady’s kidney failure

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, September 12, 1922. A letter to H. M. Dunlap. In full: “Brother Tyron handed me your message of September 11th, and I told him I would be glad to make acknowledgment myself. It was very pleasing to know of your sympathy and your hopes for Mrs. Harding’s recovery. At the time I dictate she seems to have passed the crisis in her illness and there is every prospect that she is going to make a full recovery. She has been, indeed, very desperately ill. I should like to be remembered to Mrs. Dunlap and all the members of your family. It seems ages since I have seen any of you. I never fail to recall, however, how kind you were to me when I was indisposed at Battle Creek.” In fine condition, with light scattered creases and a paperclip impression to the top left. In early September the First Lady had collapsed with kidney failure, a recurring problem throughout her life that would eventually result in her death. Accompanied by the original White House mailing envelope. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
