This Democratic politician was elected governor of Kansas (1931-33) before being appointed Assistant Secretary of War by FDR in 1933, a position he held until 1936 when he was appointed Secretary of War, serving that post until 1940. TNS, 1p, 7" X 9", Washington, DC, 1933 June 15. Addressed to Louis Thuringer. Very good. On "The Assistant Secretary of War" letterhead, the newly-appointed Woodring notes "I am pleased to add my autograph to your collection," signing large and bold. Accompanied by a superb and scarce original 8½" X 6" black-and-white news agency (International News Photo) glossy photograph. Printed text (neatly affixed to verso) titles the scene "Lindy and Anne Guests of Secretary of War" and dated 10 March 1934, it describes this group scene: Colonel Lindbergh was invited to Washington by Secretary of War, George Dern, to discuss Army aviation, the conference was still in progress behind closed doors at noon, but it was 'recessed' for luncheon at the home of Secretary Dern, with Mrs. Lindbergh accompanying her husband to meet Mrs. Dern." Among the eleven guests standing for this informal portrait is Woodring, his wife, and Douglas MacArthur. A quite scarce photograph contemporaneous with this Woodring letter.…
