The first time I saw was when Mr. Webster was on the corner of the Bunker Hill Monument on 17th June 1825. When he got through the open space I will never forget his appearance Approximately 50,000 men and women are waiting for "Today's speaker" and as they know, they are at the same time Do not shout Sky names are "Webster!", "Webster!", "Webster!" This is one of the beautiful days of June where the sun was bright and the air was clear. I appreciate the pure presence. There is a long archive of soldiers of their holiday costumes; there are many associations where motto is banner; cottage with white apron and blue scarf and large cottage; citizens from town and village for miles; 200 men Is a remnant of the revolutionary era

The ceremony at Bunker Hill began commemorating the dedication of the war memorial hall. Rama Jaite was the owner of Freemason Order and he was asked to lay the foundation stone. Later, a famous lecturer, Massachusetts State Assemblyman Daniel Webster, talked a long time before 15,000 spectators sat at a wooden amphitheater at the top of Bunker Hill. After paying respect to the old veteran during the battle, Webster looked at Lafayette. "You are connected to both the hemisphere and the two generations," he muttered. "From you, from the new world to the old world, you should see the freely sparking spirit through heaven."
