Edward Douglass White papers, 1902.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173275946

The papers consist of a brief undated letter in pencil to a Mr. Butler requesting him to make minor corrections to a Supreme Court opinion White was drafting, and a draft of an opinion titled "Northern Central Railway Co., Error to the Appeals of the State of Maryland, decided Dec. 1, 1902." The draft, which features copious corrections and additions by White in pencil, concerns a case involving the tax liabilities of a corporation that merged with another corporation, thereby forfeiting certain tax immunities previously granted to it by the state of Maryland.
