Two letters concerning a Marine Corps band concert, written on behalf of Presidents, and addressed to Captain John H. Craige of the Navy Department:
TLS. 1pg. 7” x 9 ½”. January 31, 1924. Washington, DC.  A typed letter signed
“
John Randolph Bolling
”
on behalf of former President Woodrow Wilson.  The letter is written on Wilson’s personal Washington, DC letterhead, and signed by Wilson’s brother-in-law, states:
“Mr. and Mrs. Wilson ask me to say that they will be very happy to act as patrons of the Invitation Concert to be given on March fourth by the Band of the United States Marine Corps.”
As the sickly Wilson died four days later, this must be one of his last missives.  The letter has a red crayon mark through it and two punch holes at the top.
TL. 1pg. 5 ½” x 9 ¼”. February first [1924]. Washington.  A typed letter on Hoover’s personal letterhead:
“Mr and Mrs Herbert Hoover accept with pleasure the invitation of The Committee in Charge of the Invitation Concert to be given on March fourth by the Band of the United States Marine Corps and feel honored to have their names used among its patrons.”
The letter has a red crayon mark through it and two punch holes at the top.
