Father

Octogenarian John C. Coolidge, father of the President, received a let- ter from Mrs. J. D. Knapp, of Joliet, Ill., asking prices on his maple-sugar. He replied:

I have let my lot. Walter W. Lynds makes nice sugar or syrup and can tell you price of either at your place by parcels post. Respectfully,

(Signed) JOHN C. COOLIDGE.
