Also in attendance was Lincoln's oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln (d. 1926), former U.S. Secretary of War. Light stain at left edge of front cover and light wear on front and back covers; small ball-point ink mark on back cover, otherwise in very good condition, quite exceptional for its age. A great piece of Lincolniana,and very timely, as the Lincoln Memorial was recently re-dedicated on May 30, 2009, in a ceremony similar to this 1922 dedication.
