First Lady Grace Coolidge Writes About Hope For A Visit And Her Sick Mother

GRACE COOLIDGE (1879-1957). Coolidge was First Lady of the United States from 1923 to 1929.ALS. 3pgs. February 28, 1928. The White House. An autograph note signed Grace Coolidge as First Lady, on White House letterhead. She wrote about her hopes in seeing the recipient soon, as well as her mothers poor health. Dear Mrs. Walker: For a long time I have been looking forwards to a little visit with you and have kept your note tucked into a former of my blotting pad. It has seemed an immeasurably long season. Then, when I had to miss seeing you at the Army and Navy reception it seemed like adding one straw too many but the camels back is still unbroken and the camel is getting its legs under it again. So much so that I hope to make the trip to Northampton to-morrow night to have a few days with my mother who has been in the hospital over eleven weeks. She grows more weak but suffers no pain and her courage is undaunted. Please continue to hold me in loving thought and in your prayers for I love you. Sincerely, Grace Coolidge. In fine condition, with a thick horizontal fold and accompanied by the original White House envelope.
