Staff Report / FLXlocal.org
On Constitution Day, September 17, Americans are encouraged to celebrate the nation's founding document. Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections houses a handwritten letter from George Washington, widely known as the “Father of our Country.” This letter provides insight into the convention that led to the creation of the U.S. Constitution.
Additionally, a message from G. W. H. Jefferson discusses the value of old age and the wisdom that comes with it while extending well wishes from his family.
