Description

“Any professor of English who has endured my excursions into that field deserves more than just a signature”

Scarce ALS, one page, 6.5 x 8, personal letterhead, January 7, 1954. Letter to Professor Wallace B. Amsbury. In full: "General Hawley tells me you want my autograph. Any professor of English who has endured my excursions into that field deserves more than just a signature." In fine condition, with slightly trimmed edges. Hoover's handwritten letters are extremely scarce, as he generally opted for a typewriter-particularly in response to autograph requests. A bold and highly desirable letter.
