HENRY CABOT LODGE
Henry Cabot Lodge handwrites this note saying when he is to leave for New
York.
Autograph Note signed: "H.C. Lodge" as US House of
Representative, 2p front and verso, 4¼x3¼. No
place, 1887 February 9. To "My dear Sir", in full: "I shall
stay at 689- Madison Avenue & Shall leave here on Saturday at 9-a.m.
reaching New York about 3 o'clock- Truly yours". Henry Cabot Lodge
(1850-1924) represented Massachusetts in the US House (1887-1893) and Senate
(1893-1924). As Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the
Republican Lodge led the fight against US membership in the League of
Nations. Lodge was not an isolationist like some League opponents. Instead,
he argued that the US must be free to pursue its own interests without needing
the consent of an international organization. (An additional motive was his
ardent dislike of President Wilson.) A scholar as well as a politician, Lodge
was Harvard's first PhD in history. His grandson, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.
(1902-1985), was a US Senator, Ambassador to the United Nations and to South
Vietnam, and the Republican vice Presidential nominee in 1960. Fold at left
margin with paper remnant. Otherwise, fine condition.
