Franklin Hichborn letter to Andrae Nordskog
Manuscripts
In this letter Hichborn says he was unable to locate a copy of his book, "The System" that Nordskog had requested. Hichborn says that he is not surprised that Nordskog was unable to find the book in public libraries because both The System and The Story of the California Legislature of 1915 concerned "crooked Jews" and were the subject of censorship and suppression via book burners. He suggests that the book may be found in the Hichborn Collection at the University of California Library Los Angeles.

Franklin Hichborn letter to Andrae Nordskog
Manuscripts
In a previous letter, Andrae Nordskog asks Franklin Hichborn to follow and garner support for a measure to amend the California constitution following a failed ballot proposition to enable cities the right to grant franchises for privately owned public utilities and to collect taxes without having to fix the rates. In this response, Hichborn denies the request citing that he has been retired for many years and is now out of touch with the present order at the state capitol, nor does he have any time to study the measure. He closes the letter trusting that Nordkog was able to locate a copy if Hichborn's book, The system.
