TLS signed "F. LaGuardia," one page, 8.25 x 10.5, City of New York letterhead, February 1, 1941. Letter regarding an obscenity trial, in part: "Would you be good enough to serve on a committee to pass judgment on the propriety, legality and decency of a magazine which I consider highly objectionable, obscene and crudely filthy….an arrest was made in this case and both the president and the corporation were held for trial…and yesterday the Grand Jury failed to indict. This action will result in another epidemic of vicious, lascivious and filthy publications that we know are off the press and ready for distribution." A crease and area of paper loss to the upper right corner, otherwise fine condition.
