Supreme Court Justice. TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court letterhead, February 12, 1948. Letter to Mr. Shedd, mentioning the Sacco-Vanzetti case and the death of Arthur Hill (who was defense attorney in the famous case). In part: “The phrase ‘a genius for friendship’ has a good deal of currency, but I have never known anyone to whom it could be more deservedly applied to than Arthur Hill…the outpouring of all manner of people was a striking proof of the depth and breadth of his human appeal…I am particularly interested that Arthur Hill spoke to you about his participation in the Sacco-Vanzetti case substantially in the terms of my letter about him.” Mild creasing to the top left corner, toning around the edges with heavier areas along the bottom edge and light, areas of toning from old mounting remnants, otherwise fine condition.
