Context: Coolidge writes of his preparations for returning home after the spring semester.
My Dear Father,–
I hope you do not feel I have slighted you for I have found it almost impossible to do anything this hot weather. I wrote you a card but never got up street to mail it, though I think I could if it had been of any importance.
I now expect to get to Ludlow at 8,30 Friday the 24th. I shall have a trunk but it will not be very heavy, you could bring it all right with Ephram’s’ buckboard if you care to, or let it stay a few days if you know of any body going down.
I have a box of books and other things that I am going to send home by freight, things I do not care for here and some I shall bring back.
Now they are packed I guess I could [have] carried most of them in my trunk but it would have been so heavy it would get smashed around too much
The seniors are all through with their work now and have nothing to do but go about the street in cap and gown and sing
I shall be all ready to help hoe corn when I get home, It is easy hoing where the corn is this year and I shall like it
I suppose you are pleased with the nomination of Harrison. Who will be governor? I wish Johnson could get the nomination, though Gov. F– is all right and a man of uncommon common sense and a farmer too he has not the keen intellect and scope, nor the polish and distinguished appearance of Will Johnson.
I hope Plymouth will support one of these at the convention
With Love.
J Calvin Coolidge.
