H L HUNT (1889-1974) Texas oil king. TLS, 1p, June 18, 1952, 4to, personal letterhead, Dallas, to Republican U S Senator Francis Case, excellent political content promoting Douglas MacArthur for President. In part, "...I am glad to find you agreeing that the Republicans do not have a picnic for the election. I do not believe that MacArthur has taken himself out of the picture, but he is so unrealistic in his support of [Robert] Taft...He would be easy to elect because he can carry Southern states...the party is being weakened everyday through the bitterness of the Taft-Eisenhower fight. If MacArthur does succeed in shelving himself, which he can not do unless he makes himself ridiculous, Senator [William] Knowland is a possibility. I know Joe Martin and have a high regard for him. If he could as a vice-presidential candidate swing Massachusetts... Otherwise, [Everett] Dirksen...might be the better choice...At any and all events, neither Taft nor Eisenhower should be the nominees..." VG. $300-400
