Circa: 1930 Manufacturer: By Hamlin Garland--American writer
Two letters, one dated November 3, 1930 with an inquiry to Hamlin Garland from Mark Sullivan, renowned journalist and friend of President Herbert Hoover asking for his input regarding an artist for the possible commission to create a Presidential sculpture of Hoover. On the letter are hand-written notations by Garland. Those notes indicate Garland inquired of his brother-in-law sculptor Lorado Taft.
Together with that letter is a typed letter by Garland dated the 7th of November, 1930 responding to Sullivan which was likely sent along with Sullivan's letter with notes by Garland back to Sullivan.
The recipient of this letter was prominent American journalist Mark Sullivan (1874-1952). Sullivan was considered to be one of the most widely respected journalists of his day corresponding with Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. Sullivan was also a confidant to Theodore Roosevelt as well as a good friend and confidant to Herbert Hoover. In addition to Presidents, Sullivan corresponded with many notable politicians, businessmen and literary figures of the day including Arthur Conan Doyle who he was good friends with as well as Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Orville Wright and many other prominent and influential people from the 1890's to mid 1900's.
Sullivan wrote and published between 1926-1935 a six volume book by the title 'Our Times 1900-1925' which chronicled the social and political history of America from the 1890's to the 1920's.
Sullivan correspondence can be found archived in the manuscript division of the Library of Congress and in the Herbert Hoover Institution Archives.
On the letter by Garland is an 'F' in pencil for file.
