Letter to Kate Waller Barrett from Calvin Coolidge
Letter from President Coolidge to Kate Waller Barrett regarding the Florence Crittenton Mission which managed homes for unwed mothers and prostitutes.
My dear Mrs. Barrett:
It is not easy to imagine a single reason why the work of the Florence Crittenton Mission should not have the most unqualified endorsement from every good citizen. I can think of a long list of the persuasive reasons why that endorsement should be given, and for myself I gladly extend it.
I wish you the fullest encouragement and cooperation in the splendid work you are carrying on.
Very truly yours,
Calvin Coolidge
