Description
Rare, 1945 Typed Letter Signed by United States Supreme Court Justice & U S Secretary of State James F. Byrnes (1879-1972). James Byrnes served as a member of the House of Representatives (1911–1925), as a Senator (1931–1941), as Justice of the Supreme Court (1941–1942), as Secretary of State (1945–1947), and as Governor of South Carolina (1951–1955). He therefore became one of very few politicians to be active in all three branches of the federal government while also being active in state government. He was also a confidant of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was one of the most powerful men in American domestic and foreign policy in the mid-1940s. .

This wonderful, letter measures approx. 7" x 9" and is written entirely on the front of a single sheet of stationary from the office of the Secretary of State of the United States - printing at the top reads "Secretary of State / Washington". It is dated "August 22, 1945" (while Byrnes was Secretary of Sate under President Harry Truman) and is written to a George Albert Ingham. George Ingham of Pennsylvania was a Boy Scout leader who spent his free time collecting autographs. He wrote to important people requesting a signed photo, note or letter commenting on the importance of the Boy Scout movement in America. He received many positive responses from high-ranking generals, Presidents, politicians and civil leaders. Many wrote in glowing terms of the Boy Scouts’ importance. This short letter reads "Dear Mr. Ingham, / I am glad to send you my autograph for your collection, as you requested. / Sincerely yours, / (signed) James F Byrnes / James F. Byrnes".

The letter is typed in blue ink and signed boldly "James F. Byrnes". It is in excellent condition - crisp and very attractive with a single, unobtrusive horizontal fold and 2 staple holes at the lower left hand corner. The stationary is embossed with the State Department Seal and also has a watermark of the same design. The signature is 100% unconditionally guaranteed original and backed by our “no questions asked” return policy and lifetime guarantee of authenticity. This wonderful and rare U.S. Supreme Court Justice Signed Letter is sold, as always, without reserve!!!! Good Luck!!!
