No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Thirty-first President of the United States Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) signed this brief note to an admirer on August 19, 1933 [several months after leaving office]. The message reads: "I wish to thank you for your friendly note of birthday greeting. It was thoughtful of you to remember my birthday, and I want you to know that I appreciate it."

He served one term, losing the presidency to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the election of 1932. Typed on a 10 3/8" x 7 1/4" sheet of Hoover's personal stationery. Condition: Fold lines, mounting remnants on verso, otherwise very good condition with a large, bold signature. Signed by Author(s).
