CLEVELAND, Grover [CLEVELAND, Frances]. SPEECH OF GROVER CLEVELAND, 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AT PRINCETON'S SESQUICENTENNIAL 
CELEBRATION, OCTOBER 23, 1896. Washington, 1896. First Edition. An 
eight-page speech bound in the original printed orange wraps. This copy 
is SIGNED as President by Cleveland at the bottom blank margin of the 
last page of text and dated "Oct. 26, 1896." It is also INSCRIBED and 
SIGNED by Mrs. Grover Cleveland at the top of the front cover: "Mr. H. 
W. Green./from/Frances F. Cleveland." President Grover Cleveland, 49, 
married Frances Folsom, 21, in June 1886 at the White House, the only 
President to be married in the White House. When the Clevelands left the 
White House in 1897, they retired to Princeton where Grover Cleveland 
died in 1908. In 1913 Frances married a Princeton University professor 
of archaeology becoming the first presidential widow to remarry. There 
was an H. W. Green active in New Jersey politics in the middle of the 
nineteenth century, and this is likely the inscribee. Vertical crease 
down center. Very Good or better, and scarce. (#013886)        $4,500
