HERBERT HOOVER
Herbert Hoover signs a typed letter of thanks.
Typed Letter Signed: "Herbert Hoover", 1p, 7¼x10½. No place,
1936 April 10. On personal imprinted letterhead. To Dr. John Wesley Hill,
Washington, D. C. In full: "Many thanks for your note of April 6. If
you noticed it at all, you will see that I adopted much of your condensation at
Fort Wayne. We are in a great deal of a mess out here in California due to
entirely inconsiderate actions. However, we will have to wait and see how it
comes out. Yours faithfully," Herbert Clark Hoover (1874-1964) served as the
31st U.S. President from 1929-1933. Blamed by many voters for the Great
Depression, he had been defeated in his bid for re-election by Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Hoover, a capable administrator, had headed the Food
Administration to provide relief to Europe and Russia during and after WWI
and served as Secretary of Commerce under Presidents Warren G. Harding
and Calvin Coolidge (1921-1928). The second President to attain the age of 90
years (John Adams was the first), Hoover lived a record 31 years after
leaving the presidency. During his "retirement", he was appointed to
commissions to oversee government agencies by Presidents Harry S Truman
(1947) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953). Hoover also wrote a number of books and
articles. Creased with folds, through signature. Fine
condition.
