Date: October 29, 1920
Context: Thanks to a stampede on the floor of the 1920 Republican National Convention, Coolidge was nominated for the vice presidency, while Senator Warren Harding received the presidential nod. Although Harding ran a “Front Porch Campaign” and traveled little, Coolidge says he has “been away and too busy to write.”
Dear Father : –
I have been away and too busy to write. We are all well. I feel sure we shall carry the election by a good margin. It would have been a little bigger three weeks ago but it will be enough. I hope you are well.
Your son
Calvin Coolidge
