    This Democratic politician served Massachusetts both as its 46th governor (1914-16) and as senator (1919-47). TNS, 1p, 8" X 10½", Washington, DC, 1937 April 14. Addressed to future Lincoln and Civil War scholar Arnold F. Gates (1914-93). Near fine. Light original horizontal folds. On "United States Senate" letterhead, Walsh transmits (present) a signed copy of a recently-delivered speech. Accompanied by aforementioned speech, an 8vo 8-page "Congressional Record" offprint titled "Reorganization of Federal Judiciary," being the text of the senator's radio address delivered at Carnegie Hall in New York on March 12, 1937. In this fiery speech, Walsh denounces President Roosevelt's controversial court-packing scheme. Signed large and bold near the bottom of the self-cover, along with "Compliments of." Walsh was a well-known critic of FDR's plan to enlarge the Supreme Court, making this signed memento particularly desireable.
