Autograph Letter signed: "H. F. Stone", 8 x 10 ¼ ,one page. Island

full: "I have just discovered that through an oversight, the letter I
mailed you several days ago was not mailed. I am going down to the P. O. to mail
it with my other mail. Hope the delay has not inconvenienced you. Kind
regards". Harlan Fiske Stone (1872-1946) had decreased
corruption in the Justice Department while serving as United States Attorney
General (1924-1925). As an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
(1925-1941), he served under both William H. Taft and Charles Evans Hughes.
Although a Republican appointee, Stone had often supported Franklin
Roosevelt's "New Deal" legislation during Roosevelt's first term, when many such
measures were being declared unconstitutional by the Court's majority. FDR
nominated him for Chief Justice in 1941, and he filled that role until his
death. Stone began teaching at Columbia Law School in 1899, serving as
Dean from 1910 to 1923. Vertical and horizontal folds affecting text, one
vertical fold crosses the "n" in Stone. Otherwise, fine
condition.
