Hayes.” The quote reads, in full: "These words of Emerson, which I have just read, call to mind the burning questions of our day: 'The deep sincerity of the speakers who are agitatinh [sic] social, not political questions, and who are studying how to secure a fair share of bread to every man, and to get God's justice done through the land, is very good to hear." On the reverse, Hayes has written, “Please look inside.” Accompanied by a similar typed quotation, signed by his wife, "Lucy W. Hayes." In fine condition, with mild overall toning, scattered creases, and tape remnants to top of both sheets on reverse. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
