JOSEPH ALSOP, JR
Joseph Alsop, Jr. sends a typed letter of apology that the blue and white pieces went above their bids.
Typed Letter Signed: "Joseph Alsop", 1p, 7¼x10½. Washington, D.C., 1963 November 21. On sheet imprinted with his name to Buford Chisholm, Esquire, Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc., New York, New York. In full: "Thank you so much for your note. I am sorry that the blue and white pieces went over our bids. Sincerely," Joseph Alsop, Jr. (1910-1989) was a political journalist whose column, first called "The Capital Parade" (1937-1940, co-written with Robert E. Kintner) and later renamed "Matter of Fact" (from 1946) appeared three times a week in 300 U.S. newspapers. At his retirement, Alsop's column was America's longest-running one. Alsop called himself and his journalist brother, Stewart, "very square New Deal liberals", but his foreign policy views were more conservative. Stewart had co-written "Matter of Fact" with Joseph from 1946-1958, going on to write for the "Saturday Evening Post" and "Newsweek". Lightly creased with folds, not at signature. Fine condition.
