TLS, one page, 6.5 x 9.5, personal letterhead, June 17, 1932. Letter to an admirer, in part: "The picture which I have autographed was probably taken at the White House, south grounds, during a reception which we held there each year for the disabled soldiers of the hospitals about Washington…I am quite sure it has no connection with Colonel Lindbergh, otherwise, he would be standing beside Mrs. Coolidge and me." Includes the 2.5 x 3.25 photo of Coolidge meeting soldiers on the grounds, signed in fountain pen by Coolidge; another man, Floyd Whitmarsh, has signed at the top. Matted and framed together to an overall size of 11.5 x 14.5. In fine condition.
