Douglas (1898-1980) served as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed Louis D. Brandeis. Justice Douglas's

until that point. He retired in November 1975 and died five years later at the age of 81. He
was strongly libertarian in his opinions, distrustful of establishments of all types, and
considered himself a voice for the voiceless and powerless. Two horizontal folds. Left edge
irregularly cut. Gently creased throughout, not affecting signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
