President’s Widow to Receive Largest Salary Gift in History
Mrs. Warren G Harding, widow of the late president, is set to receive the unexpired portion of her husband’s salary, amounting to about 68 750 dollars, under longstanding precedent.

The article also outlines franking privilege and a 5000 dollar annual pension, with examples from Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. McKinley, and Mrs. Cleveland.
