Description

Truman, influential in the recognition of Israel, accepts a Jewish author’s gift

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, April 29, 1963. Letter to Jacob Baal-Teshuva. In full: "I will, of course, be most happy to receive the first copy of the book and if it is not possible for me to be in New York, and it doesn't look as if I will be, you can present it to Margaret for me. She will be glad to receive it." Truman adds a handwritten postscript: "Margaret's address is Mrs. Clifton Daniel, 830 Park Ave., N.Y. City." Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, as well as two other envelopes. In fine condition, with a bit of trivial toning to left edge. Israeli journalist and author Jacob Baal-Teshuva edited “The Mission of Israel” in 1963. Former President Truman was one of the contributors. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
