About this Item
Description:
The U.S. Army's youngest major general when he attained that rank in 1925, this controversial officer was named Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army in 1930; during World War Two he became commander of the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East and then Supreme Commander of the Southwest Pacific Area; he officially accepted Japan's surrender on September 2, 1945 aboard the U.S.S. Missouri; during the Korean War President Truman removed him from the United Nations Command in 1951. TNS, 1p, 8" X 10", New York, NY, 1953 February 6. Addressed to Joseph C. Chase. Very good. Faintly age toned, with two faint original folds. On plain stationery with his typed 90 Church Street address, the general sends this cordial note of thanks to an admirer for birthday wishes. Bold full signature in black ink at the close. Accompanied by a fine glossy 6¼" X 7 3/4" black and white news agency photograph (International News Photos), a candid closeup of MacArthur in civilian garb -- overcoat, silk scarf, hat. Caption at bottom dates it 25 January 1955 and describes the scene as "A striking closeup of General Douglas MacArthur just before he flew from New York today to celebrate his 75th birthday in Los Angeles tomorrow. California dignitaries and a million plain citizens are expected to greet the famous soldier, who is making his first visit to the city in 18 years. Part of the birthday celebration will be the unveiling of a monument in the general's honor at MacArthur Park in downtown Los Angeles." A nice letter with appropriate image. Seller Inventory # 40780

This Democratic politician was elected governor of Kansas (1931-33) before being appointed Assistant Secretary of War by FDR in 1933, a position he held until 1936 when he was appointed Secretary of War, serving that post until 1940. TNS, 1p, 7" X 9", Washington, DC, 1933 June 15. Addressed to Louis Thuringer. Very good. On "The Assistant Secretary of War" letterhead, the newly-appointed Woodring notes "I am pleased to add my autograph to your collection," signing large and bold. Accompanied by a superb and scarce original 8½" X 6" black-and-white news agency (International News Photo) glossy photograph. Printed text (neatly affixed to verso) titles the scene "Lindy and Anne Guests of Secretary of War" and dated 10 March 1934, it describes this group scene: Colonel Lindbergh was invited to Washington by Secretary of War, George Dern, to discuss Army aviation, the conference was still in progress behind closed doors at noon, but it was 'recessed' for luncheon at the home of Secretary Dern, with Mrs. Lindbergh accompanying her husband to meet Mrs. Dern." Among the eleven guests standing for this informal portrait is Woodring, his wife, and Douglas MacArthur. A quite scarce photograph contemporaneous with this Woodring letter. Seller Inventory # 34586

Oscar-winning actress (for "The Razor's Edge," 1946) who starred in "All About Eve," "The Ten Commandments" and numerous other films. TNS, oddly-trimmed (roughly rectangular) 4½" X 2", n.p., n.y. Very good. Three small tape stains at edges (one slightly touching "A" of signature). Intriguingly odd: Baxter types what's apparently a favorite verse -- "I don't mind eels / Except as meals. / -- Ogden Nash / Selected by" whereupon she pens an exclamation mark to this last word and signs large and bold beneath in black ink. Undated, but circa 1960. Accompanied by a fine, glossy head-and-shoulders 8" X 10" photograph -- printed caption on verso describes this 1969 still as from the television movie special and pilot episode of "Marcus Welby, M.D." titled "A Matter of Humanities," in which she portrayed the doctor's "long time friend and romantic interest" Myra Sherwood.

This versatile and influential economist was the nation's youngest tenured full professor by age 28 (that's right, TWENTY-EIGHT!) at Amherst College; he served under presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower in economic advisory positions domestic and international; in 1947-48 he served as an alternate delegate at the United Nations General Assembly; but it is for helping draft the Marshall Plan that he is best remembered. TNS, 1p, 8½" X 11", Amherst, MA, 1930 May 14. Addressed to Mary B. Day. Very good. Faintly age toned. On letterhead of Amherst College Department of Economics, the extraordinarily youthful prof sends the librarian at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry (not present) "two copies of my article entitled 'HORSEPOWER STATISTICS FOR MANUFACTURERS' in accordance with your request." Small but bold and handsome full signature. This exceptionally early example is accompanied by a choice unsigned 10" X 8" glossy news agency photograph (International News Photo), a closeup depicting Thorp smiling over a document with another smiling fellow, the caption beneath reading in part: "Financial negotiations between the governments of Italy and the United States to resolve the outstanding financial questions arising out of the war and which were not definitively settled by the Treaty of Peace are now approaching a conclusion. Pictured at a State Department meeting are. Ivan Matteo Lombardo, heading the Italian Delegation and Willard L. Thorp, Asst. Secretary of State for the U.S." Near fine, dated in caption "6/17/47." Quite unusual image and even more unusually early Thorp document. Seller Inventory # 39349

TNS, 1p, 8" X 10½", Washington, DC, 25 April 1919. Addressed to S.R. Gaines. Very good. Some offsetting (perhaps from long-ago newsprint contact), with faint age toning and minor edgewear. On "United States Senate / Committee on Military Affairs" letterhead, Johnson complies with an autograph request, signing large and bold in full. Accompanied by a superb original 8½" X 6½" glossy black-and-white news agency photograph , a closeup of cigar-chomping Johnson and another conferring. Newsprint text tipped to verso dates the image 9 July 1945, titles it "At Charter Hearing" and describes the scene: "At ratification hearing on the United Nations charter which opened today in Washington, Senator Hiram Johnson, of Cal., and Senator Tom Connally of Texas." Less than one month later -- on the same day the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima -- Johnson died. Seller Inventory # 42283

The versatile and prolific actor often remembered for portrayinh Mark Twain on stage (for which he won a Tony Award in 1966) also appeared often on television and in dozens of films. TNS, 1p, 6" X 8", n.p., 17 September 1979. Addressed to M. Kocsett. Very good. On personal letterhead, Holbrook tells an admirer: "I hope this reaches you in time for your mother, Terry's, birthday.

The star Yankee pitcher of the 1920s and '30s, known as "Schoolboy," became one of the first players to enter sportscasting; elected to the Hall of Fame in 1969. TNS, 1p, 6" X 7", n.p., n.y. Near fine. On his personal imprinted letterhead, Hoyt writes a choice sentiment: "To a man who plays pro ball, and who actually loves the game, there is no feeling like that of being elected to the Hall of Fame. The biggest thrill of all, I guess." Boldly signed in full in blue ballpoint. Undated, but likely of 1980s vintage. Accompanied by a fine glossy 4" X 5" photograph, a black and white print of a head-and-shoulders portrait of Hoyt in uniform bearing a facsimile signature below. Seller Inventory # 45257

Typed draft of Vinson's brief "Who's Who" entry, bearing one hand-printed correction, quite likely (but not conclusively) in Vinson's hand. Comes with a fine 8½" X 6½" glossy news agency photograph (International News Photo) of 1947 showing Vinson as chief justice administering the oath of office to the new U.S. Solicitor General while Attorney General Tom Clark observes.
