John Haynes Holmes Typed Signed Letter Rankin Floyd 1929 NYC - $8K APR w/CoA
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This intriguing and rare signed letter from John Haynes Holmes (November 29, 1879 - April 3, 1964) offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and social circles of the early 20th century. Holmes, known for his activism and co-founding of the NAACP and the ACLU, writes to Mrs. Floyd, the wife of William Floyd, a prominent author and editor of The Arbitrator, a New York City Atheist Magazine and a relative of “William Floyd”, one of the American founding fathers.
In the letter, dated December 11th, 1929, Holmes expresses regret for not being able to meet Miss Rankin, likely referring to Jeannette Pickering Rankin, the first woman to hold federal office in the United States. The mention of such influential figures in the political and women's rights movements adds depth to the historical significance of this piece of ephemera.
Typed on letterhead paper, this letter provides a tangible connection to the political and social activism of the time, making it a valuable item for historians and collectors interested in American history and political movements.
