TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Federal Bureau of Investigation letterhead, July 14, 1947. Hoover responds to an invitation from Edwin DeFrain Taylor, in full: “Your letter inviting me to appear on The Community Forum of the Wilmington Junior Chamber of Commerce during the coming lecture season was received on July 10, 1947. While it would give me a great deal of pleasure to address this Forum, the pressure of my official schedule precludes my indicating an acceptance.” In fine condition, with a few light creases.
