Justice Sherman Minton #87

Justice Sherman Minton #87 signed a letter as a Senator from Indiana on January 16, 1937 and written to Stanley Leonburg as Minton responds. Minton received many criticisms for suggesting the constitution could be ignored during the depression. (Interesting as the “new deal” was found unconstitutional regularly until FDR threatened to pack the court.) (There appears to be a grease stain on the letters face.) in Minton’s photo he and his wife Gertrude are boarding a train.
