Description

“‘This too shall pass.’ I wish you success in your legislative program realizing full well the difficulties attending it.”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Supreme Court letterhead, May 4, 1957. Letter to California governor Goodwin Knight. In part: “I have been reading the Bee from day to day, and note that your problems are much the same as mine at this stage of the legislative session; namely, much action without movement. It seems that at such times progress is nonexistent, but I always comforted myself with the story of the Biblical King who gathered his Wise men together and asked them to tell him something of which he could be certain in any circumstances. After long study, they returned with the motto ‘This too shall pass.’ I wish you success in your legislative program realizing full well the difficulties attending it.” A carbon of Knight’s letter to Warren is stapled to the letter. Office stamps and notation to top right, some mild toning, and a staple to top left, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an ALS from Nina Warren to first lady Virginia Knight. RRAuction COA.
