The Attorney General's signature on a printed card, written in blue
ink
Printed card signed in ink: "William D. Mitchell", in blue
ink, 3½x2½. Card reads: "I am pleased to furnish you my autograph for your
collection. [Signature] Attorney General". WILLIAM D. MITCHELL
(1874-1955), an infantry officer in the Spanish-American War and World War I
and a prominent lawyer based in St Paul, was Solicitor General Under
President Coolidge (1925-1929). The Solicitor General represents the US
Government in Supreme Court cases. As the third ranking official of the
Department of Justice, the Solicitor General can act as Attorney General when
the latter and the Deputy Attorney General are absent. Mitchell would soon
acquire the full title of Attorney General under President Hoover
(1929-1933). He was chief counsel to the Congressional committee
investigating the military disaster at Pearl Harbor. Duncan Lawrence
Groner (1873-1957), appointed to the D.C. Court of Appeals in 1931, the
year he wrote this letter, took senior status there in 1948. Toned. Large stain
covering from left side to right margin. Paper remnants on verso. Pencil notes
(unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
