Douglas B. Hill Letters, 1925 January 26-February 8
The collection consists of two letters written by Congressman Douglas B. Hill representative for Fayette to Shelby counties. Both letters are to Abe Waldauer, who had close ties -- and later managed --the campaigns of Governor Gordon Browning. One letter is on official letterhead and is typed and signed by Hill -- the other letter is handwritten.
The first letter is responding to a request by Abe Waldauer to get a pardon for an inmate. Hill responds, " feel sure that I can get your man out ok someway as I see no reason why the Governor (Austin Peay) should let murder stand between friends."
