NOT JUST “ANOTHER” HERBERT HOOVER LETTER

THIS ONE EULOGIZES WALTER HINES PAGE

THE PROGRESSIVE SOUTHERN JOURNALIST WHO CO-FOUNDED DOUBLEDAY PUBLISHING, AND WHOSE EARLY SUPPORT FOR WOODROW WILSON SAW HIM APPOINTED AS AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND DURING WWI

HOOVER, HERBERT.  (1874-1964).  Thirty-first President of the United States; headed panels investigating government waste and inefficiency (1947-49, 1953).   Choice Typed Statement Boldly Signed, “Herbert Hoover”, as President, on imprinted “The White House / Washington” stationery.  Full page, quarto.  July 9, 1930.  Hoover’s heart-felt tribute reads:

“It is appropriate that the World’s Work should recall the birthday and services of its founder Walter Hines Page.  He was a great Ambassador.  He was my friend.  He stood steadfastly with me in the organizing and administration of relief work during the World War.  He was a man of broad vision, of a generous and humane spirit. Indomitably cheerful and courageous, and a true patriot.  His resourcefulness, patient perservence, and sound counsel were ever at the service of good causes, and in his life he benefited thousands of whom his name was then unknown.  His memory is a continuing inspiration to all who knew him.”

 

There are lots of Hoover letters out there on the market.  Many of them say ‘nothing’ or are just simply ‘boring’ in form and content. [that’s just an opinion].  We would encourage all to ‘gronkipedia’ Mr. Page and read the bio of a truly fascinating individual. The World’s Work was a U.S. monthly magazine published from 1900 to 1932 that promoted a pro-business perspective on national affairs and had a circulation of 100,000.   Hoover’s tribute pays him all due homage.  This fine piece is attractively matted and framed against a dark blue mat within a natural dark wood/black frame, and will make any who view and read it, amply impressed.
