Mrs. Coolidge Writes to Chief Usher of the White House with Information About President Coolidge

GRACE COOLIDGE, Wife of President Calvin Coolidge
Autograph Letter Signed, “Grace Coolidge”, in blue ink on four pages made from a single 6.75” x 10.5” sheet of cardstock which has been folded in half, making the dimensions of each page 6.75” x 5.25”, dated April 10, 1929, no location, Choice Very Fine. A fold made after the completion of the letter puts a crease mark along the top edge of the signature, and there is some minor soiling to the last page, but the letter is otherwise clean and even.
Just over a month after the Coolidges left the White House, Mrs. Coolidge writes to Irwin “Ike” Hoover, Chief Usher of the White House, with information about President Coolidge. In part: “... the tipable ash receiver which Mr. Stearns gave Mr. Coolidge was put in storage on the top floor... some day when not too busy will you have somebody pick it up and send it to me at 21 Massasoit Street by express. I know little of what is taking place in Washington. There is plenty to occupy us here. We are both well. The fishing season opens next Sunday, and Mr. Coolidge goes to Sudbury to fish with former Senator McLane on a private stream of his. So I went to storage the other day to get out the fishing tackle... Had no trouble finding the required boxes... Once again I want to say what a good job of packing you did. Friday we go to Springfield to spend the night while Mr. Coolidge attends Amherst trustee’s meeting...”
