Letter, 1907 Mar. 18, to Hon. Grover Cleveland (South Island, S.C.)

Letter from a local social organization honoring Cleveland on his birthday, during his stay on an island elsewhere in Georgetown County, S.C. Typewritten letter on Palmetto Club letterhead, signed by J.I. Hazard, president, extending best wishes to Grover Cleveland on his [seventieth] birthday, fondly recalling his visit to Georgetown, and noting that the "services rendered by you in the high office to which you were twice called by the suffrages of your fellow country-men" contributed to the public perception that 'public office is a public trust'" and that Cleveland's retirement from official life "has not lessened the influence exerted by you upon the political character and ideals of our people."
