Description
9 1/2" x 7". Two typed letters on F.B.I. stationery from J. Edgar Hoover to Shirley Temple at her North Rockingham address, including letter from 1937 in which he notes "it was very kind of you to make me a member of your Police Force", inviting her to visit him in Washington; and another letter from 1938 in which he has just learned that Shirley will be arriving in Washington soon, and adds "Do you remember my promising you that I would take you for a ride in my armored car when you visit Washington? Well, you may be sure I haven't forgotten and it will be ready and waiting to take the ïSweetheart of the G-Men' for a ride just as soon as she arrives in the Nation's Capital". Excellent condition. Included is a vintage photograph of Shirley asking Hoover for his autograph; in that photograph, the badge from her Police Force is seen on his lapel.
