First Lady Grace Coolidge Free Frank, 1955, Free Frank autograph on personal stationery two years before her death; seemingly addressed to Henry Cabot Lodge, it was actually mailed to his grandson, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr while stationed as the longest serving Ambassador to the United Nations (wonderful UN receiving mark); Lodge would run for Vice President on the Nixon ticket in 1960 before being tapped by Kennedy to be Ambassador to South Vietnam; fascinating postal history on both ends, F.-V.F.
