Impressive collection of 17 invitations sent to well-known White House secretary Toi Bachelder, including ten from “The President and Mrs. Roosevelt” and seven from “The President and Mrs. Truman,” dated between 1935 and 1953. Nearly all measure 5.75 x 4.75 and invite Bachelder to various receptions at the White House; a particularly notable exception is an invitation from President Truman for a reception at the National Gallery of Art on January 20, 1949, which was the day of his inauguration. All are accompanied by their original White House transmittal envelopes and are in overall fine condition.
