Description

Hoover submits The Challenge to Liberty to the Saturday Evening Post

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 7, 1934. Letter to T. B. Costain of the Saturday Evening Post. In part: “I am sending you herewith the proofs of the second article. In some of the cuts proposed there are some necessary reservations on a subject so complex as this which would be dangerous to eliminate. In some others of the cuts proposed the continuity of thought is destroyed. I have, however, cut some places which seemed to me to be less damaging, and therefore this is a sort of compromise.” An area of toned adhesive remnants to the upper left, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a carbon file copy of the response to Hoover, agreeing with his suggestions. This letter is in reference to two chapters from Hoover’s book critical of the New Deal, The Challenge to Liberty, which would be published in the Saturday Evening Post on September 8 and 15, 1934. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
