Lot Description

Truman, Harry S. Typed letters, signed (3)

Independence, Missouri, August 31, 1957. 1 p., 4to. To Dean Acheson, "...Thank you for that information on the "tri-partisan" situation. When something of that kind puzzles my Secretary of State, who is never puzzled by anything... my confusion no longer troubles me... The Boss was highly pleased to have an opportunity to read your letter..." Independence, Missouri, May 26, 1960. 1 p., 4to. To David H. Morgan, "...I sincerely hope that it will be possible for me to get in touch with you when I am in Los Angeles for the Convention. Nobody knows how it is going to come out and I know less than anybody about it. However, I am hoping we can nominate somebody who can win the election..." Independence, Missouri, April 21, 1961. 1 p., 4to. To Ralph McGill, publisher, The Atlanta Constitution, "It certainly was a pleasure to sign the book for your son... I am returning that 30-cent stamp which you sent, and the reason is I have a special arrangement for mailing things without cost..." With an uncancelled 30-cent stamp stapled to the upper left corner of the letter sheet.
