Description

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, October 28, 1926. Letter to E. J. Blanchard of Plymouth, Vermont, in full: "Enclosed is a bill and letter which I have received from Mr. Cady. I wish you would look at the cows some day and see if they are all right. I imagine from his letter that he spent his money as it came in and finds himself without any money with which to pay his rent.

I noticed they had done some papering and, I presume, painting downstairs. Upstairs, I much prefer that no painting should be done. He ought to get his bills together for whatever he has paid out on account of repairs and submit them to me. I do not like to have matters drag along, because then I never get around to attend to them. Whenever he wants to pay out anything on account of the farm, I would like to have him let you or me know about it, how much it is, and have it settled at once.

As I would like the letter and the bill returned to me, I am enclosing a stamped and addressed envelope. I want to thank you again for all of your help. I do not know how I could get along without you." In very fine condition
