Document type: Declassified documents
Venue: City Hall, Cardiff
Source: THCR 5/1/2/265 f37
Editorial comments:

Undated but assumed to be from the day of the speech. Unsigned, conjectured to be Sherman's because the landscape format was one he habitually employed and was quite distincive in MT's circle.

The speech was embargoed until 1930.

A transcript from tape of the speech as delivered may be read here.
