Description:
The following letter dated May 20, 1957, is written by Herbert Clark Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, to Julian Parks Boyd, a prominent professor of history at Princeton. In the letter, Hoover is responding to a letter previous sent by Boyd. He thanks him for some information regarding a book he is writing, and states that he will be looking into the information further once the “skeleton” of the book has been set.
Although the materials Hoover specifies within the letter are not described, it is likely that they played a part in the writing of either, “The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson,” or “An American Epic”, which were published in 1958 and 1959 respectively.
Location:
