A Note From Justice Souter

In 1999, I had a clerkship interview with Justice Souter. Some time later, I received a thoughtful note from him explaining that he did not pick me.

Until the other day, I assumed that all or most Justices did this for clerkship interviewees who were not selected. But now I'm wondering if Justice Souter was unusual in this respect. I'd be curious to know if other Justices send or sent rejection notes.
