Description

Writing to prominent Socialist Norman Thomas on “this subject of war”

TLS, one page, 7 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 8, 1941. Hoover writes to Norman Thomas (1884–1968), the prominent political activist who ran for president six times as the Socialist candidate. In part: “I expect that except for some economic issue you and I would find very few differences—and today other issues are transcendent. I deeply appreciate your most kind expressions. And I have listened to your able addresses on this subject of war with great satisfaction. You may be interested to know that I will speak from Chicago on Wednesday evening, November 19th, over the facilities of the Columbia Broadcasting System….” Mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
