Scope and Content
In a one page typed letter signed, December 3, 1926, Senator Claude A. Swanson of Virginia (1862-1939) forwards a request he received from the Honorable John Hays Hammond , to Willard Saulsbury (1861-1927), Wilmington, Delaware, as one of the senators serving while Thomas Marshall (1854-1925) was Vice-President. In the letter, Swanson asks for a donation to purchase a brass replica of a bust of Marshall, now at the Capital, to be placed in his mausoleum in Indiana erected in his honor by the Scottish Rite Masons.
