“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Manuscript signed by U.S. Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels, dated 1915, two years before President Wilson asked Congress to declare war. Handwritten message, perhaps a speech draft, reads in part, ''…the fleet is becoming more efficient with every passing month…and in the interest of self-respecting peace, which is the only peace worth preparing for, it is devoutely to be hoped that this strength may not be questioned…'' Datelined Washington D.C., 6 May 1915, signed ''Josephus Daniels''. Single page measures 5.25'' x 6.75.'' Very good.
