Description

During his stint in the clink, "Meyer Harris Cohen" ponders the suicide of an "honest dedicated Government official"

ALS signed “Mickey” and "Meyer Harris Cohen, 14738H," one page, 8 x 10.5, August 5, 1967. Letter to Lieut. Voy K. Apt, written from federal prison in Springfield, Missouri, in part: "Just a short note to greet you—when you get home from Ohio and visiting your sister, and to let you know that I received your card. Also to tell you of the tragic news of Mr. Nicholas committing suicide this past Thursday. I am pretty well shook up over it, as in my book Voy he was a fine little guy, and an honest dedicated Government official, with a fine human understanding. Voy, I hope that you found sister as well as can be expected, and that you remembered to give her my love and good wishes." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Cohen's hand. From the collection of David Gainsborough-Roberts.
