As a Member of Congress, he writes to a young Republican, praising
their Party
Autograph Letter signed: "John D. Long" as U. S.
Representative, 1 page, 7½x9¾. Washington, D. C., 1887 February 8.
On personal Congressional letterhead to "Jos. P. Fisher, Esq.", in
full: "I regret that my engagements have prevented my accepting your kind
invitation to the Republican Club dinner in N. Y., in the 12th instant. I am
heartily in sympathy with the movement of the Young Republicans, which it is
intended to promote. With a good record in the past, with right purposes for its
future, with candidates and platforms abreast with its own prestige, and with
the support of young men, such as your club, the Republican Party will win
because it will deserve to win. Truly yours". John Davis Long
(1838-1915) followed his terms in the state legislature
(1875-1878) with service as Lieutenant Governor (1879) and
Governor (1880-1882) of Massachusetts, then went to Washington as a U.S.
Representative (1883-1889). He was Secretary of the Navy under Presidents
McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt (1897-1902). A capable Secretary, Long
helped prepare the US Navy for its success in the Spanish-American War and its
further expansion under President Roosevelt. Normal mailing folds. Binding holes
along left edge. Creased and tone. Edges worn, tears on right and left sides.
Otherwise, fine condition.
