Justice Benjamin Cardozo ALS to New York Lawyer Harold Roland Shapiro


1p ALS on plain cream stationery paper inscribed overall and signed by Associate Justice Benjamin Cardozo (1870-1938) as “Benjamin N. Cardozo” in black fountain pen in bottom right corner. In very fine condition, with expected light paper folds. The page measures 5.125” x 6.375”.


Cardozo wrote this letter of thanks and congratulations on August 8, 1936 from White Plains, New York. Cardozo's correspondent, New York lawyer Harold Roland Shapiro, had recently sent the Associate Chief Justice a letter. In it Shapiro probably also enclosed a copy of one of the many articles and book reviews he regularly wrote, since Cardozo conveys his congratulations.


"White Plains


Aug: 8, 1936


Dear Harold Shapiro,

Faithfully yours



Benjamin N. Cardozo"

Benjamin Cardozo was nominated to the Supreme Court by 31st U.S. President and Republican Herbert Hoover in 1932. Cardozo, along with left-leaning justices Harlan Fiske Stone and Louis Brandeis, formed the “Three Musketeers” and voted in favor of many New Deal policies. From 1932 to 1937, they faced off against the “Four Horsemen”, as conservative justices George Sutherland, Willis Van Devanter, James Clark McReynolds, and Pierce Butler were called.


Harold Roland Shapiro (active 1930-1970) was admitted to the New York bar in 1927. Shapiro served for many years as an Assistant District Attorney dealing with mainly criminal cases. Shapiro's scholarly interests were diverse: he published monographs on topics ranging from labor law to twentieth-century warfare. Shapiro also contributed to the New York Times and wrote book reviews.


A courteous letter from Associate Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo!
