He was a Bostonian, who frequently visited New York; and whenever he did, he of course stayed at the Everett House. The hotel's dinnerware bore his coat of arms. In addition to serving as: president of Harvard College, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, Governor of Massachusetts, and U.S. Minister to Great Britain, among other posts, he was chosen to deliver a nearly two-hour oration alongside Abraham Lincoln's famous address commemorating the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg. Perhaps his most lasting legacy was to raise $70,000 to help save and preserve George Washington's Mount Vernon.Ann Goddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205375414853665756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-32093215467279054952020-03-06T08:34:05.173-08:002020-03-06T08:34:05.173-08:00If any such records exist they might be in the New...If any such records exist they might be in the New-York Historical Society archives or possibly the Museum of the City of New York.

It's a fascinating diary and I'm keen to find out who she was. Is there any archival material surviving such as a guest list or room bill?<br />Andrew ShorthouseProf Andrew Shorthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846876086598874952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-8170979256644911592019-09-29T11:56:11.768-07:002019-09-29T11:56:11.768-07:00Thanks again Tom!

And here it is and much more! LMT then moved to the Union Square Hotel at Fourth Ave & 15th Street. The bills I have go to December, 1868. I eagerly await what you might post for the Union Square Hotel! Solveig Shearernoreply@blogger.com
