About this Item
Grover Cleveland's private secretary while governor of New York continued in this capacity when Cleveland was elected U.S. president in 1885, then was named his Secretary of War during his second term (1893-97). LS, 2pp (lettersheet), 5" X 8", Washington, DC, 1888 May 28. Addressed to Charles D. Palmer. Very good. Faint original folds. On blue-imprinted "Executive Mansion" letterhead, Lamont does something he no doubt did on countless occasions on the president's behalf: Decline an invitation, this time from the persistent mayor of Lowell, Massachusetts. In part: "The President directs me to. thank you for the courtesy of the invitation conveyed therein to go to Lowell on June 6th upon the occasion of the visit there of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts. He has, however, been obliged to decline the latter's invitation to attend the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the organization on June 4th.:" Boldly signed at the conclusion. If at first you don't succeed, invite, invite again!. Seller Inventory # 40610
