Frances Cleveland

Collection of eight items, consisting of six ALSs (four as first lady), one free franked mailing envelope, and an ink signature, all dated between 1887 and 1936. One lengthy ALS, six pages on two sets of adjoining sheets, Executive Mansion letterhead, September 1, 1887, in part: “I am sorry to tell you the President has decided it will be best to go to a hotel in Philadelphia instead of accepting any of the invitations we have received…it will be much more convenient to be at a hotel near the center of things. The President especially will not be in any one place very long except at the reviewing stand.” A later letter, in part: “I am much pleased to hear of the arrangements for broadcasting on Mr. Cleveland’s birthday…I do not know that I shall be where I can ‘listen in,’ but you may be sure I shall try to do so.” In overall fine condition.
