My dear Hoover, in these days of unrest and general dissatisfaction, it is absolutely impossible for a man in?
your position to get a clear and impartial view of the general conditions of things in America today. But, of this fact I am very positive , that there is not 5 percent of the poverty, distress, and general unemployment that many of your enemies would have us believe. It is true , that there is much unrest, but this unrest is largely caused... by the excessive prosperity and general debauchery through which the country has traveled since the period of the war. The result being that in 3 cases out of 4, the unemployed (person) is looking for a very light job at a very heavy pay, and with the priviledge of being provided with an automobile if he is required to walk more than 4 or blocks a day. National Relief Driector, Walter S. Gifford and his committee are entirely unnecessary at this time, as it has a tendency to cause communities to neglect any temporary relief to any of their people, with the thought of passing the burden on to the National Commitee...
Believe me to be one of your well wishers in this ocean of conflict.
Yours sincerely, W. H. H.
