Written in Bridges’ hand: “And this dear land of ours, the freeman’s Nation! / Lord, let me live and see / Fulfillment of our fathers’ aspiration, / When each man’s really free! / When all the strength and skill that move the mountains, / And pile up riches great, / Shall sweeten patriotism at its fountains, / And purify the State! / Robert Bridges / Droch / May 14, 1902.”

Very good condition.
