^Lot 266 J. Edgar Hoover

Three items: two TLSs signed “J. E. Hoover” and “J. Edgar Hoover,” Federal Bureau of Investigation letterhead, dated November 22, 1938 and August 31, 1949, each addressed to an admirer. Upon hearing of her trip to Washington to visit the FBI headquarters, Hoover suggests “that you come to my office in the Department of Justice Building, Ninth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest…”; and a fountain pen signature on an off-white 5.25 x 2.5 clipped ‘autograph’ slip. In very good condition, with scattered toning, soiling, rippling, and spotting to one of the letters and the signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
