TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, June 23, 1917. Letter to journalist Oswald Garrison Villard. In part: “By August 1st I think that things will be so adjusted here that we will feel justified in calling upon you for your services…there will no longer be a question of any embarrassment to the Administration by your adhesion to it as a member of our organization. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the support which your paper is giving to the Food Administration, particularly the articles by Miss King, who has evidently made a very close study of the food situation.” Scattered toning and soiling, and a paperclip impression to the upper left, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a carbon copy of Villard’s response to Hoover, in which he declines the invitation to join his staff.
