WILLIAM F. WHITING
As Secretary of Commerce, he signs a cryptic, typed 1928 letter to the Postmaster General.
Typed Letter signed: "William F. Whiting" as Secretary of Commerce, 1 page,6¾x9. Washington, D.C., 1928 December 20. On official letterhead to Harry S. New, Postmaster General, Washington, D.C. In full: "I want to thank you for the interest you have taken in the matter of which I spoke to you recently. My secretary has told me of the message you gave him yesterday, and I am sure that what you have done will prove to be very helpful. With the Season's greetings, I am Sincerely yours". William Fairfield Whiting (1864-1936), formerly President of Whiting Paper Company, founded by his father, was Secretary of Commerce from August 22, 1928 to March 4, 1929. Appointed to replace Herbert Hoover, when the latter received the Republican Presidential nomination, he remained in office for the remainder of President Coolidge's term. Harry S. New, previously a Senator from Indiana (1917-1923), was Postmaster General under Presidents Harding and Coolidge. The curiously vague content of this letter may whet the reader's interest. Were these two Cabinet officers discussing something they didn't want to commit to writing? Further research might be warranted. File holes at upper blank margin. Received stamp at upper right. Pencil check mark at upper middle. Fold crease not near signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
