When our forefathers established special guarantees for the freedom of the press, they did so not for the personal aggrandizement of the publishers, but to serve the public. The award that has come to you is a gratifying demonstration of the true role of a newspaper in a democratic society. I wish you and your readers continued success.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 11 x 13. In fine condition.
