Check signed by Melvin H. Purvis, drawn on the Guaranty Bank & Trust, Florence, S.C., dated 3 Sept. 1943 (made out the the phone company). Melvin Horace Purvis II (1903 - 1960) was an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (1927-1935), and became known for leading manhunts for a number of the FBI's "most wanted." He claimed to have tracked down Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd. After Purvis killed Dillinger (1934), J. Edgar Hoover seems to have become jealous of Purvis' name recognition, and apparently Purvis was "sidelined" by Hoover. Purvis resigned in 1935 and turned to the practice of Law in his home state of South Carolina. During WWII he served in Army intelligence and assisted with evidence against the Nazi leaders during the Nuremburg trials.
