Lou Henry Hoover – LS, October 8, 1929, one page on White House letterhead with envelope. She thanks famed harpsichordist Lewis Richards for a performance at the White House the night before. Apparently, all energy was focused on the financial crisis rather than socializing. A somewhat apologetic Hoover extends an apology that the guests of honor were so tired … “Otherwise, we should all have loved more of the harpsicord.”
Wonderful content with strong association, reflecting not only the stressful times but Lou Hoover’s interest in musicales at the White House and her interest in American musicians such as Richards.
The letter and signature are in excellent condition with a strong signature.
