This physician and educator served as dean and chancellor of Stanford University's School of Medicine, then served as Secretary of the interior under Hoover (1929-32), after which he became third president of Stanford (1933-43). TNS, 1p, 7" X 10½", Secretary of the Interior letterhead, Washington, DC, 1932 March 29. Addressed to Charles T. White, a Lincoln scholar and writer. Very good. Small and minor tape stain. Transmits "my recent address on LINCOLN." Accompanied by a TDS, mimeographed copy, of typed, double-spaced address, 5pp (rectos only), 8" X 10½". Very good. Mildly age toned, with staple hole at upper left. Headlined "Speech by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, at the first annual Lincoln Day Dinner of the National Capital Republican Club, Friday evening, February 12, 1932, Willard Hotel, Washington, D.C." Wilbur signs in full, large and bold, in blue ink across the top. A rousing patriotic talk near the end of Hoover's term in office with the Depression bearing down, closing with: "We are on our way to repeat the election of 1864. People then talked and talked, and then began to think and think, and voted that Abraham Lincoln should stay in office, just as they will do for Herbert Hoover." Could he have been more wrong? Hoover, of course, lost to FDR in a landslide the following November 8. Quite unusual.
