Byron White signs an envelope with a 6¢ Dwight D. Eisenhower stamp

Envelope signed: "ByronRwhite", 6½x3½. Postmarked Central Islip,
New York, June 15, 1970, Byron R. White (1917-2002), was the first
appointment to the Supreme Court by President Kennedy and served from 1962 until
his retirement in 1993. White played professional football for the then
Pittsburgh Pirates (now the Steelers) to earn money for law school, and was a
Rhodes Scholar at Oxford until World War II broke out. He returned to the U.S.
and enrolled in Yale Law School in 1940 and also played two seasons with the
Detroit Lions. At the time of his appointment, he was the youngest member (at
age 44) to serve on the Court. Difficult to categorize and suspicious of
ideology, White dissented in such landmark cases as Miranda
(source of the "Miranda warning", 1966) and Roe v. Wade
(1973). Slightly creased at corners. Return address label at lower left. Fine
condition.
