TLS, two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 15, 1933. Letter to his attorney. In part: “I and some friends have been purchasing some land in the southern San Joaquin Valley…I wonder if you would be willing to do a professional job for me in respect to a particular piece which may or may not be for sale? Either the Los Angeles Athletic Club or Los Angeles Duck Club own two sections of land southeast of Bakersfield…They use it for duck shooting purposes…as this institution has recently been in financial difficulties it might be willing to sell the land at a reasonable price if it were given a perpetual right to maintain their Duck Club on it…I would be glad if you could find out what the lowest price is that they would accept…I send you a small map with the areas marked.” At the conclusion he adds, “I want my name kept out of it!” The hand-notated map mentioned is also stapled to the letter. In fine condition, with two punch holes to the upper left. A fascinating letter from one of Hoover’s post-presidential ventures.
