American oil tycoon (1889-1974), Hunt built his oil dynasty by trading poker winnings for oil rights, eventually owning a vast majority of the East Texas Oil Field. At the time of his death, he held the title of wealthiest person, worldwide, and his three wives and many offspring were the inspiration for the wildly popular show, Dallas, which ran from 1978–1991. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, February 3, 1969. In a brief response to an autograph request, Hunt responds, in full: “I have been away from my office for several weeks and am late in replying to your letter of January, 1969. I have long made it a practice not to autograph anything except a few books I have written, and then seldom. I am returning the envelope you enclosed with your letter. By separate cover I am sending you copies of some of my books and other material which I hope you will find of interest.” In fine condition, with some light creasing at the edges and top left corner, along with a few trivial spots of soiling at the same corner.
