1st Viscount James Bryce autograph letter signed. Dated 25 June 1907, Bryce writes an intriguing letter to ''Ladies' Home Journal'' editor Edward Bok: ''...it seems...more prudent for one occupying an official function to abstain while he holds that position from discussing a topic of so controversial a nature...James Bryce''. The controversial topic is not named, though Bok apparently wanted Bryce to write of it for his magazine. 1pp. on card-style stationery measures 5.25'' x 6.5''. Slight separation to verso fold; very good.
