HOLMES, Oliver Wendell, Jr. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Boston, 2 
January 1894. A fine 1-1/4 page letter of @50 words on Massachusetts 
Supreme Judicial Court 4-7/8" x 8" stationery SIGNED by the Justice to 
an unnamed correspondent. Holmes transmits the address of an editor that 
his correspondent might contact in order to have a piece of writing 
published. 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. Minor toning to 
the edges and mounting remnants, else Very Good. (#019165)        $1,000.00
