TWO UNPUBLISHED SIGNED LETTERS, ONE FROM FBI DIRECTOR J. EDGAR HOOVER AND ONE FROM FBI ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CLYDE TOLSON, DOCUMENTING THEIR SHARED PERSONAL LIFE. ***** The first letter is from J. Edgar Hoover, on his exclusive FBI director letterhead, to close personal friend Marie Zografos, widow of George Zografos (who had been the catering manager at the St. Moritz Hotel in New York.) In this letter, dated April 24, 1954, Hoover thanks Zografos--quite poetically--for her Easter card. Signed "Edgar" in his characteristic blue ink. ***** The second letter is from Clyde Tolson, the assistant director and Hoover's partner (in every sense, apparently), on his personal letterhead. It is dated February 28, 1955 and addressed to Marie's sister, Beulah Wagner, and offers condolences upon Marie's death. It is signed "Clyde", also in blue ink. IT COMES WITH THE ORGINAL ENVELOPE, FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR (!). UNIQUE DOCUMENTATION, IN PERFECT CONDITION.
