(RETIRED)From Concord, NH
December 22, 2015You are bent on making me an educated man. And this brings my thanks for the volume of Magna Carta essays with your generous inscription. You sure assembled an impressive stable of writers, starting with yourself, and I hope to profit from them all as time allows.
I hope you have a most wonderful new year ahead of you.
Yours sincerely,
Davidover, please

I’m spending the week excavating the top of my desk, after getting swamped with too much of everything. And up came this thank-you I misplaced and covered up seven months ago. Please forgive my chaos out of charity for an old man.
David

Justice David Souter letter to Randy Holland re Lewes, Delaware Book: May 7, 2013

JUSTICE SOUTER
(RETIRED)May 7, 2013
Dear Randy:
You were most kind to send me a copy of the new book. I haven’t had a chance to do more than dip in here and there, but your prose is lovely and the production of the book itself is a very nice complement to it. I shall be glad to learn why it is that I used to get nicked for a toll passing through Delaware, back in my days of migrating up and down the coast.
You must be thrilled to have the book out, and it’s great to have the occasion to send congratulations.
Yours sincerely,
DavidThe Honorable Randy J. Holland

Dear Randy:
Thanks for your note of the 9th. I hate to turn you down about the appearance after the admissions ceremony next month, but I’m going to ask you to excuse me. I already have one student group coming that day, and I’ve learned from experience that I’ve got to be realistic about rationing time. I hope you’ll understand.
Yours sincerely,

Endorsement of Virtue and Dignity: Justice David H. Souter’s Letter re Randy Holland Nomination

Supreme Court of the United States
Washington, D.C. 20543CHAMBERS OF JUSTICE DAVID H. SOUTER
May 30, 2007
Dear Mr. Brady:
Thank you for your letter about the nomination of Justice Holland for the Christensen Award. To the extent that any word from me might help in forwarding the nomination, I’m most happy to supply it.
The American Inns of Court has become synonymous with insistence on intellectual responsibility and personal decency within the practice of the profession. While the focus is on lawyers, Randy Holland stands for these virtues among the judges. His intellectual work is on the record for all to consult, and as the Circuit Justice assigned to the Third Circuit, I can attest to the valuable collegiality he has had a hand in fostering between the judges of Delaware and their Federal counterparts. He should be in the Inns’ pantheon.
Yours sincerely,
David SouterKevin F. Brady, Esquire

CHAMBERS OF JUSTICE DAVID H. SOUTER
April 25, 2007
Dear Randy:
As an Honorary Bencher of Gray’s Inn, I view Middle Temple lawyers with some caution, but your letter makes out a case for tolerance. Thanks very much for the copy of your book, (with your kind inscription) which it’s going to be fun to get into. For the moment, it will have to be fun deferred, but not for any longer than necessary.
Yours sincerely,
