Architect (1859–1934) and designer of the Woolworth Building. TLS, one page, 8.25 x 11, business letterhead, December 18, 1930. Introspective letter to an admirer. In part: “I know of no high road to success other than through hard work and constant application. I am inclined to think that success is not the goal to strive for. The real goal is to do your duty to the fullest of your ability and to try to do something real and worthwhile for the good of the world, and if you meet with ‘success’ along those lines consider it a by-product. I doubt if any man can be considered completely successful until after he is dead, for one never knows what turn fortune may take. While popularity has little or anything to do with real success, I might add that he who is popular today, may, while pursuing exactly the same course and with the same good intention, be very unpopular a year hence. Bear in mind, popularity does not constitute success.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, moderate scattered creases, light toning, and the signature a shade light.
