Description

"When things like this happen I'm not sure I'm as efficient as I was in times past"

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 30, 1958. Letter to Oklahoma Senator Mike Monroney, in full: "I am enclosing the cards you sent to me for signature on June 30th. Unfortunately, they were at the bottom of the great pile of mail that accumulated here while I was gone. Miss Anna Elgin's letter is being returned too so you can have it where it will do the most good. I apologize for the delay, but circumstances made it unavoidable." Truman adds a handwritten line at the end: "When things like this happen I'm not sure I'm as efficient as I was in times past." In fine condition, with a small stain to the last letter of the postscript.
