Lot 462
Brandeis, Louis D (1856-1941). Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, 1916-1939, he was the first Jew to sit on the Court.
Autograph Letter Signed ("Louis D. Brandeis"). One page, octavo, Washington, October 28, 1940. To Breslau (Rabbi Isadore).Two filing holes punched at top, minor soiling at top edge, crease at top left corner. Breslau's penciled notes erased at bottom. In good to very good condition.
Brandeis writes a memo Breslau stating: "Dear Breslau: 1. Note Chronicle enclosed article. How did the C., which used to be our friend, come to accept Lipsky as ally? 2. Enclosed on Lady Reading - the great Zionist - ought to have wide circulation. Cordially, Louis D. Brandeis" This intriguing note which begs more research and unfortunately the enclosures mentioned are not available. It has been suggested that the "Lipsky" of the article is possibly Harold Laski, one of the relatively few people to give a negative portrait of Brandeis. The "Chronicle" likely refers to the Jewish Chronicle.
Estimated Value $450 - 650.
