Mr. Clarence Darrow,

Chicago, Ill.


Dear Mr. Darrow:-


I know it is a little late but I want to congratulate you on the way you handled the big case. While I cannot say I approve the verdict I consider it a wonderful tribute to your ability and the only thing that saved the life of these boys was the masterly way in which you presented their case.


Very truly yours,


W.A. Rosenfield
