Calvin Coolidge writing to Grace from New York City: December 8, 1932.

Coolidge was in the city as chairman of the National Transportation Committee. Also serving on the Committee was former Democratic New York Governor and 1928 Democratic presidential nominee Al Smith. Smith will comment on Coolidge’s death that “Calvin Coolidge was a salty, original character, an unmistakable home-grown, native, American product, and his was one of those typically American careers, which began on the sidewalks, or on the farm, and prove to the youth of the nation that this is still the land of unbounded opportunity.” This letter is the last one Coolidge wrote Grace. He died suddenly on January 5, 1933.
