TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, December 7, 1921. Letter to William Broening, mayor of Baltimore. In full: “I want to gratefully acknowledge your courteous note of December 2nd in which you second the invitation to the dinner to be given by the Maryland League of Women Voters on next April 24th. I am grateful for the honor which the League does me in extending its invitation, and I am greatly pleased to have you second the invitation in your official capacity.” In fine condition, with a faint paperclip impression to top edge.
Harding's support of women's suffrage while a member of the US Senate made him extremely popular with the fairer sex, and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in August 1920—and perhaps to some degree his handsome looks—greatly helped him at the polls and ushered him into the White House. It was undoubtedly to thank him for his tireless efforts that the Maryland League of Women Voters invited the president to dinner. Ironically, Maryland officials did not ratify the Nineteenth Amendment until 1941 following its initial rejection in 1920; the state did not certify it until 1958. A unique link between the suffrage movement and one of the influential people who helped make it a reality. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
