TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court of the United States letterhead, October 30, 1941. Letter to the Hon. Maury Maverick, in part: "All I wanted to convey last night regarding the American relations to the world, is that we should be concerned with our responsibility, not with our power. Unfortunately, power does not necessarily carry with it wisdom in its use, and the beginning of wisdom is humility. Preoccupation with power tends toward domination; preoccupation with responsibility makes for civilization. If you tell me all this is merely a difference in emphasis, I can only say that the emphasis makes the song." In fine condition. From the Collection of Dr. Lawrence E. Miller.
