American oil tycoon (1889–1974) who built his oil dynasty by trading poker winnings for oil rights, eventually owning a vast majority of the East Texas Oil Field. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, July 5, 1968. Letter to Lawrence E. Spivak of Meet the Press. In part: “I received your letter of July 3rd and note that you say, ‘many will see in this special appeal to Jews a threat if they do not do certain things recommended they may well be destroyed.’ And also, ‘I hope you will agree that your release lends itself to serious misinterpretation and should not be given further circulation.’ Needless to say, I was not attempting to threaten anyone in my release of September 13, 1966. Many Jewish friends commended me for this dispatch and some who had received the clippings I had made following September 1963 thanked me for the information contained in the clippings. I am often questioned or criticized for being anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-Presbytarian, anti-Negro, anti-Income Tax and accused of being responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I enclose copy of the UPI Dispatch regarding the assassination.” In fine condition, with a few mild creases and staple holes to the upper left corner. Some conspiracy theories revolve around Hunt and a cabal of billionaires arranging the assassination so that LBJ could take power. An especially noteworthy letter, as Spivak was the founder and moderator of Meet the Press.
