(FIRST LADIES): FRANCES CLEVELAND, MARY LORD HARRISON, LOU H. HOOVER.
Three Different American First Ladies sign the following items:
1. November 22, 1927, Autograph Note Signed, "Mary Lord Harrison," in fountain pen ink, no location, quoting a portion of her late husband's tribute to Lincoln on his 1898 birthday, 9" x 4", Very Fine. Titled "Lincoln." The text reads:
"He stands like a great lighthouse to show the way of duty to all his countrymen and to send afar a beam of courage to those who beat against the winds."
She then identified the quotation as being "from a speech made by Ex-President Harrison at the Marquette Club Chicago Feb. 12th 1898. Copied for Mr Boos...". Very historic! Accompanied by a print engraving of Lincoln, his Gettysburg Address, measuring 9" x 6.25", and a note written at the bottom: "'Lest we forget!' Mary Lord Harrison December 2nd 1938." Mary Lord Harrison was Benjamin Harrison's second wife; his first wife died while he was in office in 1892, and he married Mary Scott Lord Dimmick in 1896.
2. January 8, 1907, Autograph Letter Signed, "Frances F. Cleveland," in black ink on embossed stationery, "Westland, Princeton, New Jersey," Choice Very Fine. Addressed to Mr. Johnson, advising that "Mr. Cleveland & I shall be glad to attend... the entertainments for the Keats-Shelley Memorial" if it is possible for them to be in New York at the time, adding: "This isn't promising to be there! We are uncertain folks - & we couldn't think of saying more than a month ahead that we will surely do a thing... The Committee are very good to suggest a box for us. Mr. Cleveland joins me in thanks and all good wishes..." Grover Cleveland died a year and a half later, having served as a trustee of Princeton University after leaving the White House.
3. February 24, 1928, Typed Letter Signed, "Lou Henry Hoover," 2300 S. Street, Washington, DC, 10" x 7.75", two pages, Fine. Mrs. Hoover pays a doctor's bill that was sent unanswered to an address in Europe. This toned, waterstained letter has a large, expressive signature.
