Description

“Lincoln’s words bear the mark of greatness”

Typscript, one page, 6.25 x 9, July 26, 1960, consisting of the Gettysburg Address and Clark’s response to it, signed at the conclusion in fountain pen, “Mark W. Clark.” In part: “Lincoln’s words bear the mark of greatness. They have survived almost a full century, and promise to live on and on. Words are important weapons in our time as war—whether cold or hot—rages between opposing ideologies…Let us hope that this age will see the emergence of American statesmen who can skillfully muster words that will effectively explain democracy to the world.” In fine condition, with a central vertical fold.
