Description

Checking the background of a judge before a railway appointment

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, January 19, 1922. Letter to Attorney General Harry Daugherty. In full: “There is to be a new appointment or a reappointment of Judge Hanger on the U. S. Railway Labor Board on April one. The friends of Judge Hanger are already busy commending him for reappointment. I have had no opportunity to appraise his work. I have very great confidence in the opinion of Judge Hooper. I am wondering if you cannot get from Judge Hooper a perfectly frank and wholly confidential estimate of the services of this member. It will not do for me to ask for it directly. You are on very intimate terms with Judge Hooper. Won’t you please get me the opinion which I would like to have.” Letter is marked at the top, “Personal and Confidential,” in an unknown hand. In fine condition, with a bit of light feathering to first name of signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
