WOODROW WILSON
Twenty months after leaving the White House, Wilson reflects on
"the future of the great country we love and seek to serve".
Typed Letter Signed: "Woodrow Wilson", 1p, 7x9½.
Washington, D.C., 1922 November 19. To Mr. S.A. Lindauer, Phoenix,
Arizona. In full: "Your letter of November twelfth has for me a most
tonic quality, and I thank you for it with all my heart. It is quick with the
spirit and the principles which make me realize how entirely we are comrades in
our hopes and expectations with regard to the future of the great country we
love and seek to serve. Please accept my heartiest salutations and heartfelt
good wishes." November 11th had been designated by President Wilson as
Armistice Day (now Veterans Day) to commemorate the end of World War I on
November 11, 1918. It is possible that Mr. Lindauer had written a complimentary
letter to former President Wilson about Armistice Day. Wilson never regained
full health after he suffered a debilitating stroke on October 2, 1919,
exhausted from campaigning for the League of Nations Covenant. Wilson's
reference to the "tonic quality" of the letter from Lindauer was probably an
allusion to his frail condition. Wilson died on February 3, 1924.
