Herbert Hoover autograph letter signed, dated Christmas 1951 on his personal stationery. Addressed to Esther Anthony, wife of Edward Anthony, Hoover's publicity manager during his successful presidential campaign. Written in turquoise-colored ink, reads: ''My dear Mrs. Anthony -- Finding useful gimmicks for ones friends is difficult when they already have everything from kitchen stoves to jewelry. You no doubt have just ordinary carbon diamonds. This is a titanium diamond and has greater brilliance - 'more refraction' - than your old lot. My purpose in sending it is (a) Sentiment. (b) Your jeweler can take out one of your ordinary stones and put this in its place. (c) Then you can pawn the ordinary one with dignity. Merry Christmas / Herbert Hoover. P.T.O.'' With a postscript to verso, ''P.S. Don't try to pawn this one. The marks on the bottom are carets not price.'' 2pp. letter on a single sheet is signed on the first page with the postscript written to verso. Measures 7.25'' x 10.5''. Creasing. Near fine.
