IN ha nf ha dtHarnpt
States
Monument Society, held In this city on the 9th
instant, 1 was instructed 70 extend to you q
cordial invitation TO be present at the dedica-
tion OF the Washington National Monument
on tbe'21st day OF this month. We are advised
that you have already boon invited by the Con
gressional Committee OF Arrangements, but 1t
was deemed appropriate for the society, in
copgratulatipg you zone OF its vice-presldents,
ex officio) on the near completion OF the mOnu-
| ment, TO supplement that invitation by one
from US; aud take great pleasure In being
The medium OF such communication.
An impressive feature OF the occasion Will
| be the Grafton OF the Hon. Robert U. Winthrop,
who delivered the Grafton at the laying OF the
| cornerstone OF the monument on the 4th OF
| July, 1913. In letter TO me on the 3D. OF last
| July, referring to his forthcoming Grafton, he
eatd: "With that EFFORT my work VIII be nu
ished;" therefore, may not add that It Will
| be the pyramldiOn OF an oratorlcal monument
| unsurpassed in the history OF the United
|
IL Is that the same eminent statesman, who
| pronounced the Grafton at the laying OF the
| cornerstone OF the monument, should signal
lie Its completion by his eloquence and patrl'
| Otto sentiments, Come aud hear him, while
| you recall the eloquent peroration OF that mas
| telly production:
| our ranged Union may fall star by star Its
| glories may expire stone by stone Its col
umns and Its Capitol may moulder and crum-
bic; all other names which adorn Its annals
may be forgotten; but as long as human
hearts shall anywhere pant, or human
tongues shall anywhere plead for true, ra-
tional, constitutional liberty, those hearts
shall epshrine the memory aud those tongues
shall prolong the fame OF George Washington.
