SAMUEL D. BLATCHFORD
NY District Judge sends this handwritten letter to Judge Woodruff
regarding cases
Autograph Letter Signed: "Saml Blatchford". 1p. 5¼x8¼, lined
paper. New York, February 27, 1871 To: Judge Woodruff. In full:
"Dear Judge What about Harris v. Wheeler and the other opinion I wrote you
about? Judge Beaurich says you have your material in the Callisox case and that
it was never filed in Brooklyn. Please let me have it and Harris v. Whee-ler,
& any others. Yours truly". Samuel D. Blatchford (1820-1893), was
appointed district judge of the southern district in New York in 1867 and five
years later was made a circuit judge for the second judicial district. He was
appointed to the Supreme Court by President Arthur in 1882 and served until
his death in 1893. Blatchford, a noted authority on international and
maritime law, gained a reputation as one of the most hardworking justices,
giving opinions in 430 cases. His decisions on the status of design patents
and his rulings regarding the infringement of design formed the basis for
legislation passed by Congress in 1887 to provide remedies for patent
infringement. Justice Blatchford died 6½ months later on July 7, 1893. Lightly
shaded at edges. Normal mailing folds. Otherwise, fine
condition.
