ALS, six pages on a pair of adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.75, The President’s Cottage, Elberon, New Jersey letterhead, September 22, 1916. The newly married first lady writes Mrs. William Cogswell of Salem, Massachusetts, about the death of President Wilson’s sister and a lack of photographs. In part: “You have seen in the process the death of the President’s sister, and that we were in New London with her and afterwords [sic] in South Carolina for her burial. All this explains the delay in replying to your request for a picture and also to express my appreciation of your admiration of Mr. Wilson. I need hardly say what an echo your…words find in my heart…Doesn’t it seem queer to find me interested in Politics? I remember how you always loved it and how well qualified you were to discuss all questions in regard to the profess of affairs…I am sorry that I have no photographs, for I have had none taken since I was married except the snapshots one cannot avoid—and there are so many of them that I have grown camera shy.” Central horizontal fold, light handling wear, and a bit of soiling, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
