LS, one page, 7 x 9, The Vice-President’s Chamber letterhead, April 20, 1923. Letter to a Massachusetts gentleman. In full: “Thank you very much for your kind letter. I am feeling very well but driven to death to make speeches.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning from previous display. Considered an exceptional public speaker, Coolidge commanded substantial fees for his speeches and devoted a great deal of time to the task. When he assumed the presidency in 1923, he all but ceased public speaking, earning the nickname ‘Silent Cal’ (a title which he deplored) by the press. With his term as vice president lasting only two years, letters written by him during this period are especially desirable.
