This collection contains letters written by Coolidge, letters written about Coolidge after his death, a speech and bibliography on Coolidge, and postcards relating to Coolidge and his hometown of Plymouth, Vt. Letters written by Coolidge represent various periods in his political career and usually express thanks for political support of personal favors. Charles Henry Taylor (1867-1941) is the most frequent recipient. Several letters to Arthur Prentice Rugg (1862-1938) discuss Rugg's participation in commemorative ceremonies for Coolidge after his death. Also included are a few Coolidge family manuscripts sent to the AAS by Coolidge shortly before his death. There is a copy of a speech given by Clarence Saunders Brigham (1877-1963) to the Worcester Fire Society on the wit of Coolidge, and a bibliography of publications on Coolidge, 1921-1932. Seventeen postcards depict scenes, landmarks, and people of Plymouth, Vt., ca. 1923.
