Abstract
Autograph collection of Ralph B. Little, containing prints and letters of American presidents and other public figures.
Biographical / Historical
Ralph B. Little, Sr., was born around 1890. He received his veterinarian's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1914. In the following decades, he made significant advances in preventative veterinary medicine and died on July 27, 1965. Little's son, of the same name and also a doctor, appears to have inherited his father's collection of letters and autographs of presidents and other important historical figures.
