                     SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



     This addition to the papers of Calvin Coolidge spans the
years 1915-1932.  It consists of seventeen items of
correspondence and related material, eleven appointment books,
and five volumes of incoming telegraph messages.  The telegraph
messages also date from the first months of the Herbert Hoover
administration.

     Of particular interest is a note written by Coolidge and
given to his secretary, Everett Sanders, to copy for distribution
to journalists in Rapid City, South Dakota.  The note reads, "I
do not choose to run for President in nineteen twenty eight."
