Description: In this two-page autograph letter signed, the future Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo writes an appreciative note of thanks to the Hon. Seymour Van Santvoord for having sent him two judicial addresses by Santvoord and his father:“I thank you for the two addresses, the one by your father and the one by you. I have read them both with interest.What struck me very forcibly was the advanced quality of your father’s thought. The ideas of the juridical function which rank today as the most progressive, were prefigured and clearly stated more than seventy years ago.With appreciation of your courtesy and with best wishes for a pleasant summer.I am sincerely yours/Benjamin N.
