To: Mrs. A. Bleck, Clintonville, Wisconsin. In Full: "Dear Mrs. Bleck: Your letter has been received, and of
course it is a pleasure to send you, in accordance with your request, an

Sincerely," FRANK MURPHY (1890-1949), a
former Mayor of Detroit (1930-1933), Governor-General of the Philippine
Islands (1933-1936) and Governor of Michigan (1937-1938), became
FDR's Attorney General on January 2, 1939, serving until January 17,
1940. On January 18, 1940, he was sworn in as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, serving until his death in 1949. As an Associate Justice,
Murphy wrote many of the Court's opinions concerning civil liberties,
including that for the 1940 Thornhill v. Alabama case, in which he
clarified labor's right to strike, holding that peaceful picketing was a
manifestation of freedom of speech. Very lightly toned. Fold creases. Otherwise,
fine condition.
