Stroud, Robert.
Autograph Letter Signed. Two pages, recto/ verso, Quarto, Alcatraz, CA. August 11, 1952. Written to his half-sister Mamie, regarding his political beliefs. In part:

"... After 20 years of the worst misrule the country has ever known I can't see why any one devoted to the course of free government should vote for any democrat... For that matter, any Republican will be better for the country than the best Democrat. I would rather see Old Hoover again than see Stevenson... who is just another communist stooge... ".

Very Good. Much more of Stroud's own political ideology; all from a man who was never allowed to vote in his life! .
Estimated Value $400-600.
