Description

ALS, one page, 5.25 x 8, Law School of Harvard University letterhead, January 17, 1938. Letter to Dorothy McAllister, wife of Michigan Supreme Court justice Thomas F. McAllister. In part: "How kind of you to send me your generous use of my survey speech. I am indeed glad that you thought so well of it. Evidently Mr. Justice Holmes dictum applies: 'We need education in the obvious more than investigation of the abstruse.' It's a great comfort to find such…men on the Bench as your husband, and now finally Reed." In fine condition.
