ALS signed “Truman,” one page, 6.25 x 8.25, October 22, 1952. Letter to "Leonard," in part: "I have meant so long to write you, but have had all the nuisance (and the pleasure) of moving into an apartment, a really very nice one, here in Rome; I intend to spend the winter here—then probably will blow home with the March winds…I don't know what gave me the idea you were an Eisenhower supporter. For that matter, I can't now imagine what made me think I was. I suppose, like so many others, I simply found that 'old man-little boy' grin of his rather disarming—which is hardly the way to choose a candidate. I do want very much for Stevenson to win—I wish I were going to be there to vote for him. Do you think they really will keep Chaplin from coming home?—The whole thing is not only a great disgrace but it is offering the European press a field day in anti U.S. propaganda. He and Oona may come to Rome next month; I hope so." At the head of the letter, Capote clearly writes his new address: "Truman Capote, 33 via Margutta, Rome." In fine condition.
