Document 4843
GROVER CLEVELAND. ALS: "Grover Cleveland". 1p, 4½x7.
Princeton, 1900 June 6. To Miss Platt. In full: "I desire to
thank you for the trouble you have taken to present the property on the Ga.
coast soon to be sold. I am sorry to say however that I am not in a situation
financially or otherwise to consider a proposition for its purchase."
Three years earlier, Cleveland had left the White House after serving two
non-consecutive terms (1885-1889, 1893-1897). He had a home in
Princeton, New Jersey and a summer home on Cape Cod. He married late (he was
49 and his bride was 21) and had four young children when this letter was
written: Ruth (8), Esther (6), Marion (4) and Richard (2). A second son,
Francis, was born in 1903. At his death in 1908, Grover Cleveland's estate
was valued at $250,000. Slightly creased. Fine condition.
