Description
LETTRE SIGNÉE PAR “A DAUGHTER OF COLUMBIA" “On this day, which hallows with Freedom’s holiest tears the memory of the dead, which gladdens with her brightest smiles the hearts of the living, on this proud day, accept, chieftain, honoured and dear, a humble and inadequate token of affection from one who loves to remember that the name of Lafayette stands high on the brilliant records of her country’s fame" The 17th June 1825 was the fiftieth anniversary of Bunker Hil.
