Brandeis handwrote, signed and dated this letter to Charles Schwager in 1940, four days
after Brandeis' birthday and less than a year before his death. In it, he thanked Schwager
for his birthday greeting and wished him a speedy recovery.
Auttograph letter signed "Louis D. Brandeis". 1 page, 5 ¾ x 6 ¾, on Brandeis' personalized
stationery. Nov. 17, 1940. Addressed to "Mr. Charles Schwager". "Dear Mr. Schwager: My
thanks for your birthday greeting and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Cordially,". In 1916,
President Woodrow Wilson appointed Louis Dembitz Brandeis (1856-1941) as Associate
Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Brandeis, the first Jewish Associate Justice
(1916-1939), who had established his reputation of handling cases involving social problems
during a year of legal practice in Boston, had come to specialize in labor-management suits and
developed the Brandeis brief, still used as a legal reference. Brandeis' support of President
Wilson's theory of enforced business competition and his crusade against monopolies led
to the passage of the Federal Trade Commission Act (1914) as well as Brandeis'
appointment. Until his retirement in 1939 at the age of 82, Brandeis continued to make his
mark on the issues of labor, competition, economics and social reform. Lightly toned, creased
and rippled. Folded once and unfolded. Otherwise, fine condition.
