Description

From his 1926 Memorial Day speech at Arlington, honoring “these old soldiers, the living descendants of the spirit of Washington…representing the spirit of Lincoln, who saved our country"

TQS on an off-white 6.25 x 9 sheet, bearing a small vignette of the Capitol building. The conclusion of Coolidge's 'Ways to Peace' address given on Memorial Day at Arlington, Virginia, on May 31, 1926, in full: "As these old soldiers, the living descendants of the spirit of Washington that made our country, go down toward the setting sun, representing the spirit of Lincoln, who saved our country, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are leaving behind them the same spirit, still undaunted, still ready to maintain in the future a more abiding peace and a more abounding prosperity, under which America can continue to work for the salvation of the world." Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Coolidge. In fine condition, with a light vertical fold and a bit of trivial creasing.
