ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 6.5, December 28, 1928. Letter to Elisha Friedman. In part: “I enjoyed greatly the talk we had…and thought I had known you by reputation many years. I had not appreciated till then the range of your interests and breadth of thought. I am sorry to say that I have not yet brought myself over to the view that I ought to act as one of the judges in your proposed competition. I had meant to talk the matter over with Judge Lehman but to tell the truth I have been so crowded with many duties that I have not done so yet.” In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
