HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE
A letter from the three time winner of Pulitzer Prize for Reporting to columnist Louis Sobol, thanking him for his approval and wishing him a Happy New Year: "Don't let the column get you too bald"
Typed letter signed: "H B D", 1p, 8x10. New York, New York. January 12, 1948. To columnist Louis Sobol, New York Journal-American. In full: "Dear Louis Sobol:- My thanks for the accolade of your approval - or am I wrong in thinking that playing straight is intended to be approval? But, knowing your sunny nature (after my single and mistaken eruption!) I assume it stands on the credit side. A Happy New Year to you, and don't let the column get you too bald" New York World reporter Herbert Bayard Swope (1882-1958) was awarded the first Pulitzer Prize for Reporting in 1917 for his reports of World War I, and subsequently received the honor two more times. Once cited as "the greatest reporter of his time", Swope was the first reporter to employ the concept of "op-ed" pieces, helping popularize opinion pieces in printed news. Multiple folds. Toned. Light surface creases. Corners slightly worn and creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
