Thanksgiving Proclamation from Rhode Island Governor Lip p itt
The 1896 Thanksgiving proclamation by Rhode Island Governor Charles Warren Lippitt calls for a day of public thanksgiving on November 26. It notes agricultural bounty, favorable trade, peace, education progress, and urges restraint from labor and support for the needy. The document closes with official seals and signatures. The latter section briefly comments on W J Bryan’s post election activities, a lecture plan for 50 cities at $1000 each, and a humorous wedding tale about a missing ring found in a boot.
