Typed letter signed: "Felix Frankfurter", 5¼x8¾. Framed with photograph to an overall size
of 17x14¼. Matted by unknown individual. Written on Supreme Court Letterhead. March
5, 1951. In full: "Thank you for your generous note. I can assure you that I enjoyed what
you call my seminar as much, at least, as the members of the Japanese Diet". Felix
Frankfurter (1882-1965), who would serve as an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme
Court from 1939-1962, was a member of the Harvard Law School faculty from
1914-1939. His liberal reputation was derived from his many involvements: Frankfurter helped
found the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920, and he actively supported the Zionist
movement and labor unions. Frankfurter also served as advisor to President Woodrow
Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference (1919) and advised Franklin D. Roosevelt during
both his governorship and presidency. FDR appointed Frankfurter to the Supreme Court in
1939. Despite his past association with liberal causes, Frankfurter's strong belief in
judicial restraint often place him at odds with activist members of the Warren Court.
