Do you know me? Once I received a Presidential appointment. Then, after a change in administration. the Secretary of State refused to deliver it. Sure, you remember him. He went on to become President. You see his picture on the $5,000 bill every time you fish one out of your wallet to pay for lunch. I brought suit and took it to the Supreme Court, but now I've faded into obscurity and the Ukrainian Embassy leases my old house. Why, if it weren’t for the Supreme Court Historical Society, no one would even know what I look like.

     That picture on the left? It's a part of a vast collection of portraits, busts and historical memorabilia the Society has helped the Court amass. The Curator uses them in educational displays, providing tangible links to the Court’s rich history for the building’s half million annual visitors. Preserving my portrait alone would be enough to justify supporting the Society, but there are so many more reasons to join, and you won't have to pull out one of those Madisons to do it either. It's a paltry $75—for a whole year! I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
William Marbury
