Typed Letter Signed: "Herbert Hoover" as Coolidge's Secretary of
Commerce, 1 page, 6¾x9. Washington, 1928 July 7. To Walter L.

At the Republican National Convention held in Kansas City June 12-15, 1928,
Hoover was nominated for President on the first ballot. He defeated Democrat
Alfred E. Smith in November. 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. Lightly creased. Staple hole at upper left corner. Fine
condition.
