Collection of five TLSs from Hoover to his presidential secretary Lawrence Richey, each one page, 7.25 x 10.5, dated between 1933 and 1937 (none as president). One, in part: “I send you herewith a letter from Chief Justice Hughes…it would be advisable for you to use the delivery of this letter as an excuse to call upon him and state that I am greatly distressed over an action of a well meaning friend.” Another, in part: “Please find enclosed a letter which explains itself, but which I do not wish to answer…we have always had some doubt about dealing with this fellow. Perhaps you might communicate with him, telling him you hear he has something on his mind.” The letter Hoover references is stapled to the upper left, and is from newspaper correspondent Blair Coan, regarding the need to ‘save the country from communism.’ In overall fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
