Excerpt from Exercises Attending the Unveiling of the Statuary of the Pediment of the House Wing of the United States Capitol Building Boston, mass, August I, 1916. Hon. James L. Slayden, Committee on the Library, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C Only just received your letter. Greatly regret can not be present at unveiling of statuary in House pediment. I take great pride in having been impressed with something very obvious and introducing a bill for statuary for the House pediment which had been overlooked for over half a century, and am also glad I was able to help in securing services of Mr. Bartlett. I congratulate you that you are about to unveil what I think is the finest large statuary group in America. If I had known earlier of the unveiling, I should have come to Washington to witness it. With thanks for your thought in inviting me to be present, samuel W. Mccall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
