ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 6.75, Gray Gables letterhead, August 12, 1892. Letter to John F. Shafer. In full: "I am very much touched by the contents of your letter of congratulation received first after my nomination to the Presidency. I sympathize with you fully in the incidents in which the event brings to your mind. I have not been able to understand at all times, the devotion of children to a political party or candidate. Its further from my…self interests, and its freshness is exceedingly interesting. I am glad to have the picture of my stedfast friend which you kindly sent me; and while I cannot thank you for your kind wishes I cannot stifle a regret that my candidacy should remind you of the affliction which you have suffered in the death of your son." In fine condition, with some minor light handling wear. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Cleveland’s hand.
Two months earlier, Cleveland became the first former president to be re-nominated by a major party in 36 years, While still celebrating his good fortune, Cleveland here graciously acknowledges—and laments—”a regret that my candidacy should remind you of the affliction which you have suffered in the death of your son.” In the 1892 election, Cleveland’s victory made him the first man to hold two nonconsecutive terms as president.
