Charles E. Hughes sends a typed letter of thanks for the
letter.
Typed Letter signed as Governor: "Charles E. Hughes", 1
p, 8x10½. On letterhead of Executive Chamber. Albany, New York, 1908 November
6. To J. Louis van Zelm, New Rochelle, New York. In full: "I thank
you most cordially for your kind letter; and with my regards, I remain, Very
truly yours." Charles E. Hughes was Governor of New York
(1907-1910) when President Taft appointed him Associate Justice. In 1916,
Hughes resigned from the Supreme Court having received the Republican nomination
for President; he lost to Wilson. President Harding appointed him Secretary
of State in 1921, and he remained in that office when Coolidge became President
in 1923, staying until 1925. When Chief Justice Taft retired in 1930 because
of ill health, President Hoover appointed Hughes as Chief Justice, only
the second man reappointed to the Supreme Court (the first was John Rutledge).
Hughes served until he retired in 1941. Slightly soiled. Fold creases not near
signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
