€ 800,00

Signed "Herbert Hoover" just three days after the election, on personal stationery. The recipient, J. D. Oliver (1850-1933), was a wealthy Indiana socialite and a staunch Republican. Likely, he had donated to or otherwise aided Hoover's presidential campaign, and had written to congratulate Hoover on his triumph.

The typed letter is sent from Stanford University, the city of Stanford being the main Hoover residence. Both Hoover and his wife attended Stanford, and Hoover himself was one of the first graduates of the new Stanford University in 1895 and a member of the board of trustees.

Well preserved.
