HOLMES, Oliver Wendell, Jr. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Washington, 
D.C., 10 March 1922. A fine one-page letter of @50 words on United 
States Supreme Court 4-7/8" x 7-3/4" stationery SIGNED by the Justice to 
Henry W. Winslow responding to and declining a request for a photograph. 
Holmes was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1902 by President 
Theodore Roosevelt, a position he held until his retirement in 1932. 
Holmes became famous for his liberal interpretations of the U.S. 
Constitution and was known as the "Great Dissenter" because of his 
disagreement with the views of his colleagues on the Court. His lectures 
on common law at the Lowell Institute in Boston, collected as THE COMMON 
LAW (1881), are considered a classic of legal writing. Together with the 
original envelope with the Supreme Court of the United States printed 
return address also filled out in Holmes's hand. A few words a bit 
light, vertical crease from mailing, three small holes well away from 
any writing. About Fine with envelope, and very frameable. (#017255)
