TLS signed “W. O. Douglas,” one page, 5.5 x 8, Supreme Court letterhead, January 7, 1963. Letter to Paul Doherty. In full: “I have just heard from the National Geographic. They want to send a photographer along to illustrate the Allagash story. His name is James Blair, and he will meet me in Maine on December 6. Will you check with those in control to make sure that this arrangement will be entirely satisfactory?” Handsomely double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 17.5 x 13.5. In fine condition. Douglas was a naturalist who fought to protect the environment, a passion evident in many of his actions while on the bench. This letter presumably refers to a story on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, arguably the best canoe route in the northeast United States. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
