TLS as Chief Justice, signed “Wm. H. Taft,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court of the United States letterhead, October 22, 1923. Letter to U. S. District Judge Jacob Trieber, in full: “I brought the matter of your letter of October 15th to the attention of the members of the Supreme Court at the Conference which we held yesterday. They were not inclined to ask the Reporter to change the reports as you suggest. The Reporter himself has given you a reason, which on the whole is adequate. Congress has not given him sufficient assistance to keep up with his work as it is, and he is now struggling under a heavy handicap to bring the official reports somewhere near to the time when the opinions are delivered. If we were to add the necessity of giving the citations such as you suggest, it would substantially delay him. I presume that you have those aids which the West Publishing Company furnishes, and which I use myself to find the volumes cited in the West Publishing Company series. It does delay one some, but nevertheless it makes it possible, given the official citation, to find the case in the West Reporters. I am sorry to disappoint you in this matter, but I have given you the reason for the action of the Court. I hope that you will continue to write me whenever anything occurs to you that is within the scope of my powers.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
