Curious ALS signed “C.H.K.C., The first thing in the morning since 1836,” one page, 8.25 x 10, The Waldorf-Astoria letterhead, no date but circa 1910-1919. Handwritten letter to "Don," in full: "The Camden judge was humane. He might have sent this woman to New York. He surely was merciful when we consider what Jersey justice means."
