COOLIDGE, Calvin (1872-1933) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. A Republican lawyer from New England, born in Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor of Massachusetts. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputation as a man of decisive action. The next year, he was elected the 29th vice president of the United States, and he succeeded to the presidency upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative and also as a man who said very little and had a rather dry sense of humor. Typed Letter Signed "Calvin Coolidge" as President, 1pp. quarto, on The White House stationary, February 25, 1925, addressed to Thomas Hammond, and reads in part: "...Thank you for your note which informs me of the plan of the Northampton Chamber of Commerce to give a dinner to the members of Company G, 104th Infantry, the Northampton National Guard Company. ..." Fine condition.
