Description:
Washington, D.C., 9 April 1953. Letter. Normal creases from mailing. Fine. A gracious two-page handwritten letter SIGNED "Felix" on Supreme Court of the United States stationery (4-1/2" x 6-7/8") to historian Samuel Eliot Morison and his wife, Priscilla. In full: "The company was worthy of the Mouton Rothschild, and the magnum was worthy of the company. What a good time was had -- and, I could not escape the conviction, not merely by me. As for me, I stored up such delightful and permanent memories that I can draw upon them for those dispiriting moments to which all flesh is heir, and of which Washington provides its own special brands. I shall continue to savor the introductory period when we were only three, indeed the few seconds when Priscilla all by herself dominated the charming living-room -- and the party was also closed for me by her. My warmest appreciation."

Description:
Boston, 2 January 1894. Letter. Minor toning to the edges and mounting remnants, else Very Good. A fine 1-1/4 page letter of @50 words on Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court 4-7/8" x 8" stationery SIGNED by the Justice to an unnamed correspondent. Holmes transmits the address of an editor that his correspondent might contact in order to have a piece of writing published. Holmes was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1902 by President Theodore Roosevelt, a position he held until his retirement in 1932. Holmes became famous for his liberal interpretations of the U.S. Constitution and was known as the "Great Dissenter" because of his disagreement with the views of his colleagues on the Court. His lectures on common law at the Lowell Institute in Boston, collected as THE COMMON LAW (1881), are considered a classic of legal writing.

Description:
Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1891. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine example of a scarce title. Original gilt-lettered white cloth. We have handled several copies of this title over the years and all have been bound in printed boards. This is the first time we have seen this binding which is fancier and likely produced in a much smaller quantity. A scarce collection of eleven speeches prefaced by the comment: "These chance utterances of faith and doubt are printed for a few friends who will care to keep them." Holmes served as chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court from 1899 until 1902 when he was appointed to the United States Supreme Court by President Theodore Roosevelt, a position he held until his retirement in 1932. Holmes became famous for his liberal interpretations of the United States Constitution and was known as the "Great Dissenter" because of his disagreement with the views of his colleagues on the Court.
