First Ladies

Four handwritten letters from former first ladies: an ALS signed “Grace Coolidge,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, October 19, 1932, in part: “It is always true that nobody can tell what will happen on election day but it seems peculiarly true of the one just ahead of us. There is an hysteria in the air and anything may come out of it”; an ALS signed “Lucretia R. Garfield,” two black-bordered pages on two adjoining sheets, monogrammed letterhead, April, 28, 1911, in part: “Your kindness and generous words of greeting I find this morning the twenty eighth day of April and I thank you with a heart full of kindness and love for you, and tender memories of the past”; an ALS signed “Mary Lord Harrison,” one page both sides, personal letterhead, January 16, 1935, in part: “I should like very much to see the large photos you say you have of the Inauguration of my husband, also would like to see the Harrison campaign badge”; and a lengthy ALS signed “Edith,” six pages in total, Fetteresso Castle letterhead, August 19, 1925, in part: “We leave here tomorrow to motor through the English Cathedral towns…We hope to be a day or two in London then the same in Paris where we start for Geneva which is the mecca for me.” In overall very good to fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for the Harrison letter, addressed in her own hand, and an unsigned Brady’s cabinet photo of Garfield. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
