Bacon to Colonel John T. Graves, June 8, 1922

Copy of letter requesting copies of addresses at the dedication by Chief Justice Taft and Dr. Moton. Expresses satisfaction "your warm and affective advocacy of the dedicatory inscription as written by Cortissoz... I think the bigness of the men handling this project was then show all along the line." Reminisces about the ceremony: "It would have been better, however, had the Grand Army exercises been confined to the presentation of the colors alone and, of course, the wicked air-plane should have been shot down." Much impressed with "the President's digression from his speech when he referred to the soldiers in the blue and the gray facing him."
