1946M11765Baltimore:: Johns Hopkins University 1946-47. 1946. In all 6 pp. Fine. Bowman 1878-1950 was a prolific American geographer who served as Woodrow Wilson's territorial advisor at the Versailles conference. He was also the president of Johns Hopkins from 1935-1948. Goodwin was a prominent Los Angeles urologist and taught as an Assistant in Urology at Johns Hopkins. The first letter dated July 1 1946 is initialed by Bowman and serves as a formal appointment of Goodwin to his the position of Assistant in Urology at the university. The second letter dated June 4 1947 is a congratulatory note from Bowman to Goodwin commending him on his receipt of a Fellowship in the Medical Sciences. In this letter he includes a copy of a letter dated May 31 1947 from Robert F. Loeb of the Medical Fellowship Board to Bowman informing him of Goodwin's achievement. The unsigned draft dated June 23 1947 is an unfinished and unsigned response from Goodwin to Bowman's commendation. It is quite creased as if at one time it had been balled up for the trash. The next letter dated June 14 1948 is from Bowman and serves as formal appointment of Goodwin to his position of Instructor in Urology full-time at the university. The final letter dated June 10 1948 is from Edwin L. Crosby director of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and serves as formal appointment of Goodwin to the position of Resident Urology at that institution.

1987222098Oxford 1987. unbound. 3 pages front and back on "Headington House" stationery 8.25 x 5.75 inches Oxford April 28 1987. Written to noted Civil Rights attorney Howard N. Meyer responding to an article that Meyer had written about Wilson and "Patriotic Gore" in small part: ".There was an element of permanent as it were un-critical radicalism in Wilson - hatred of establishments suspicion of the motives of all public men natural reaction to slogans and clarion calls and eloquence in political or national causes within the framework of the establishments of what he regarded as hopelessly bourgeois countries - he thought that all wars certainly since Napoleon were monstrous bloodshed of a horrible kind in the interests of groups disguised as ideals - all that he got from Marx and similar writers - this applied to both World Wars and obviously to the Civil War and rather more plausibly to Vietnam. He obviously did not mind sheer killing as such because that does not emerge in for example 'To the Finland Station' - it was only towards the end of his life partly under the influence of Solzhenitsyn and other irrefutable evidence that he turned against the Soviet Union and became nauseated by Stalin and everything to do with him - and his distaste even turned to the once-hallowed Lenin. I had a conversation with him in which he reminded me that I had said that he was too nice about Lenin - he agreed and the Introduction to the second or a later edition of 'To the Finland Station' altered this approach.I realize and from my knowledge of Edmund whose memory I still revere and of whom I am deeply fond. His loss of faith in Russia which began after his visit in the thirties but still persisted when I first met him was I suppose true of an entire generation of American leftists and British ones too; It was a marvelous mass delusion which I think perhaps has no parallel in history. Of course he must have been right in part about the crushing of the Southern states the exploitation and the bullying.but this should not have extended to respect for his violent and irrational political prejudices ferocious suspicion and desire to discredit honorable human motives just wars general idealism above all Lincoln's reputation. He simply wanted to attack icons and fetishes as such - and in the course of this said a great many untrue unjust and silly things." This letter contains much more fine content and is effectively an unpublished essay and critique of one of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century. Horizontal folds tiny stains and a paperclip impression in the top margins. Still very good condition.<br/><br/> Russian-British philosopher and historian of ideas regarded as one of the leading thinkers of the twentieth century and as the dominant liberal scholar of his generation.<br/><br/> unknown books

Visual elements expressed during his later career can be discerned here at the outset.<br/><br/>From the artist's mission statement : "It is true to a certain extent; I have been copying Clarence Schmidt my whole career trying to make a total encyclopedic vision that has no parameters and no end. My work is marked by events and is a mirror of the mind that is building and falling apart having a logic but close to chaos refusing to stay still for the camera and giving one a sense of heaven and hell simultaneously."<br/><br/>RARE.
