I've a little rosewood casket Resting there upon a stand I've a package of old letters Written by a lover's hand
Darling sister bring them to me And sit down upon my bed And rest gently on your bosom This poor throbing achewing head
Darling now you've brought them to me You may read them all tonight I have often tried but could not For the tears that dimed my sight
When I'm dead and in my coffin And my shroud is gathered round And my narrow bed is ready In the pleasent churchyard ground
Take this package of old letters Fold them closely round my heart And this little ring he gave me From my finger never partFunding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
A. D. Alderman letter to Warren G. Harding, October 10, 1907
No full textThis letter from A. D. Alderman of Marietta, Ohio, to Warren G. Harding is in regards to a position for Alderman at the Marion Star, the newspaper for which Harding was the proprietor.
Warren G. Harding, who served as 29th president of the United States from 1921-1923, was born near Marion, Ohio, in 1865. At age 14, Harding attended Ohio Central College, where he edited the campus newspaper and became an accomplished public speaker. He married Florence Kling de Wolfe in 1891, and embarked on his political career in 1898 by winning a seat in the Ohio legislature for two terms. Harding became Lieutenant Governor in 1903 for two years before returning to the newspaper business. While unsuccessful in a run for governor in 1910, Harding won election to the U.S. Senate in 1914. Political insider Harry Daugherty began promoting Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. His campaign, known as “The Front Porch Campaign,” was centered on low-key speeches given from his home in Marion, Ohio, pledging to return the country to “normalcy.” Harding easily won the election, gaining 61 percent of the popular vote. On August 2, 1923, Harding died from a massive heart attack and is entombed in the Marion Cemetery

No full textIn this letter dated September 20, 1919, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Nahum D. Brascher, editor in chief of the Associated Negro Press, in response to his letter of September 12, 1919, in which he emphasizes the increased circulation of African American newspapers at this time, and offers to send Harding advanced copies of its newspapers, so that he can stay updated on happenings in the African American community and issues that are important to them.

In his letter, Dugan expressed unease and disappointment in Frank Ransbottom's poor management of Republican politics in Guernsey County, Ohio, and feared that the seemingly strong presence of the Bull Moose Party and support of General Leonard Wood would hurt Harding's chances for securing the Republican presidential nomination.
