Item Details

Description

Hoover J.

J. Edgar Hoover TLS: "I am indeed pleased to know you have enjoyed your work with this Bureau"

2pp typed letter signed by J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972), then Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as "J. Edgar Hoover" in black felt-tip pen at lower right. Written in Washington, D.C. on February 9, 1956. On cream paper with "United States Department of Justice / Federal Bureau of Investigation" letterhead. Expected light paper folds, a few chipped edges, and residual staple holes and paper clip impressions. Else very good to near fine. Comes with an original transmittal document entitled "Notice to Separated Federal Employee" currently adhered to a scrapbook page, with some discoloration. The letter pages measure 8" x 10.5".

Sharleen L. Benefiel of Phoenix, Arizona received instructions from Director Hoover regarding her upcoming resignation as a stenographer at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He wrote in part, "I am indeed pleased to know you have enjoyed your work with this Bureau".

J. Edgar Hoover's name is synonymous with the intelligence agency that he helped found in 1935: the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The detective served as Director of the Bureau of Investigation (the FBI's predecessor) from 1924-1935, and as Director of the FBI from its inception until his death in 1972. While Hoover took many liberties with the information he collected, critics agree that he also built up, enlarged, modernized, and legitimized the agency.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
