Hoover, Herbert (1874-1964). President of the United States (1929-1933). ALS, 4.5pp, 5 x 8 in., London. August 21, 1908. With Bewick, Moreing & Co. handstamp on first page, dated September 21, 1908. Addressed to W.J. Loring, an expert in metallurgy from California who later bought Hoover's one third interest in Bewick, Moreing & Co. Marked Private, the letter contains fine, detailed content regarding a dispute in the mining business. Hoover writes, in part: I enclose herewith a series of documents which explain themselves as far as events have proceeded up to date...I have preserved my temper...I am not certain how much more I will stand...not interested in any one elses fate. It seems simply impossible for Moreing and Wellsted to get along...I tried to present myself as a buffer state...they seem to assume that for a gorgeous 300 punds per annum I am going to preserve peace...cannot allow myself to be threatened with law courts...nor held responsible for the growth of seeds of separation...my own personal matter is not my main concern... Between 1895 and 1913, Hoover was a successful mining engineer, which took him to various locations throughout the world. He had a partnership with one of the top mine managers in Australia, C. Algernon Moreing. Condition: All in very good condition
