Rare manuscript DS, one page, 8.25 x 12.25, January 2, 1897. Pulitzer appoints his brother-in-law as a voting proxy at stockholder meetings. In part: “I Joseph Pulitzer do hereby constitute and appoint William Leonard Davis attorney and agent with power of substitution for me and in my name place and stead to vote as my proxy at any meeting of Stockholders of the Pulitzer Publishing Company to be held in St. Louis Mo on the 18 January 1897 or any other day during the said year 1897.” Signed at the conclusion by Pulitzer and two witnesses. In fine condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature). In 1878, Pulitzer had married Kate Davis, sister of William Leonard Davis. By the end of the 1880s, he was virtually blind and most of his documents were signed by secretaries, making this an especially scarce piece.
