Description:
One page, in German, with an integral blank leaf; Lucerne, 1872 April 13, to the noted bass-baritione Karl Hill. Hill was an eccentric and difficult artist with a rather unsavory reputation . Nevertheless Wagner was seriously thinking of engaging him having heard from friends that his artistry was of the highest caliber. This letter concerns Wagner's desire to engage him for the upcoming premier of 'The Ring of the Niebelung" in Bayreuth. Wagner writes: "I know you well enough by reputation to have thought seriously about using you in my projected performance. I am planning next fall and winter to review all the availble musical and mimetic resources, for which I have had no time in recent years....If I did not know you, I should have had to go to my old friend Betz in Berlin who has already agreed to sing the baritone solo at Beethoven's 9th Symphony...".

Description:
Washington, D.C., On U. S. Supreme Court letterhead, 2 pages to Orison S. Marden, President of the Legal Aid Association. A fine, lengthy content letter on the American justice system. In small part: "It is in the nautre of man to seek justice, and the basic purpose of any good legal system is to provide it. One of the characteristics that has enobled this nation and made it great is our insistence upon making justice equal and accessible for all. The citizen who faces the power of the state on a serious criminal charge does not have the equal protection of the law unless he is able to afford the help of a lawyer. Neither are the scales of justice kept in balance if large numbers of our citizens are not advised of their legal rights." A wonderful letter by arguably the greatest Chief Justice of the 20th century espousing is legal philosophy.. Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 2 Pages.
