Typed Letter Signed: "Wm H Taft" as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, 1p, 8x10½. Supreme Court of the United States, Washington,
D.C., 1924 October 2. To Cyrus H.K. Curtis, Philadelphia. In full: "Mr.
Francis E. Lowell, who is now, I believe, the head of the Devon School, has
written to me to ask me to introduce him to you. Mr. Lowell was one of my
students at Yale, and was a very good one. I don't know the purpose of his visit
to you, but I know him to be a man of energy, a man of intellectual parts, and a
man who would not occupy your time unduly. I hope, therefore, you will give him
an opportunity to say what he has to say". CYRUS H.K. CURTIS
(1850-1933) headed Curtis Publishing Co., publishers of, among others,
"Ladies' Home Journal" and the "Saturday Evening Post". He had purchased the New
York "Evening Post" on January 1, 1924, returning its editorial support to the
Republican Party. TAFT, who was Professor of Law at Yale from 1913-1921,
is the only U.S. President (1909-1913) to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court
(1921-1930). Folds, vertical fold touches "f" in Taft. Lightly creased. Fine
condition.
