 | | In that letter, Hardy asked for an endorsement of her plan to have a Christmas tree on the White House grounds. |
 | | [NARA, RG-130, Entry 28, Box 3, letter from Hardy to Slemp, December 4, 1923.] The tree was, in fact, donated by Paul D. Moody, president of Middlebury College in Vermont, Coolidge's home state, possibly due to a suggestion by Hardy. |
 | | The Middlebury Register (December 14, 1923), a local Vermont paper, reported the height as forty-eight feet. |
