FRANCES PAYNE BOLTON
Frances Payne Bolton signed this letter, typed on her personalized U. S. House of Representatives stationery in 1945, to thank the recipient for a Christmas card.
Typed letter signed "Frances P. Bolton". 1 page, 5¼x8, on Bolton's personalized House of Representatives stationery. Jan. 16, 1945. In full: "My Dear Friends: It has been very heartwarming to come back into session to find your thought of me expressed in the charming Christmas card. Do know that I appreciate it more than I can say. May I take this opportunity of hoping for you in the New Year the courage and the deep certainty of an inner peace which alone will assure you a Joyous New Year. With renewed appreciation of your Christmas message, I am, Faithfully yours,". Bolton (1885-1977) was Republican U. S. Representative from Ohio's 22nd Congressional District (1940-1696). Active in public health, she persuaded Secretary of War Newton D. Baker to establish an nursing school during World War I so that American troops wouldn't have to rely on untrained nurses. This nursing school, established at the Western Reserve University in 1923, was renamed the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing in 1935. Bolton was a long-time member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and, in 1955, became the first American woman to lead an international delegation, to the Middle East. Her husband Chester Castle Bolton was also elected to the House of Representatives (1929-1937), as was her son, Oliver Payne Bolton (1953-1957 and 1963-1965). Lightly toned, foxed and creased. Folded in half and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
