TLS signed “Geo. Sutherland,” one page, 6 x 7, Supreme Court of the United States letterhead, December 23, 1926. Letter to Jesse Knight. In part: “Thank you for your commendation of the decision in the zoning case. I wish I felt at liberty to answer your questions about the Volstead act, but I cannot discuss it because it is constantly coming before our court. The necessity of keeping one’s mind open makes it necessary sometimes almost to refrain from having opinions, let alone expressing them.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RR Auction COA.
