ALS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, February 21, 1926. Letter to Myron T. Herrick, US Ambassador to France. In full: “These absurdities seem to predominate in some diplomacy. Of course this has not a word of truth in it. I wonder why the papers print it.” Under his signature Coolidge also adds, “You were present when I met Mr. C. At my dinner.” In fine condition, with a few light creases, and an acknowledged stamp to upper right. Although the newspaper item is not named, with Herrick embroiled in the difficult task of trying to preserve peace among the major European powers, it is not surprising Coolidge takes pains to personally reassure the diplomat. As Herrick would later foresee, major debt brought all of the European powers to ruin when the Great Depression struck in 1929. The resulting disaster laid the groundwork out of which Hilter emerged to power in Nazi Germany and brought on the second World War.
