Herbert Hoover
TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, American Relief Association letterhead, June 25, 1920. Letter to Mrs. Julius Stern, in part: "This is just a personal note to express in part my gratitude for the generous support which you have given to me. It has indeed been a great honor to have you feel that I am fitted for the great office of President. The question as to who wins in these contests is to me of less importance than that we keep faith in the great issues before us. We shall have years of great trial in the solution of most difficult questions and, although we have not had our own way as to the tools for their solution, we have no less obligation to stand vigorously for the right handling of these issues." In very good to fine condition, with light toning, repairs on the reverse to fold splits and edge tears, and some trivial loss to the bottom edge.
