Description

TLS signed “Harry,” one page, 7 x 9, personal letterhead, October 26, 1961. Letter to the Hon. Dean Acheson, who served as Secretary of State in the Truman administration from 1949 to 1953. In full: "Yesterday morning I received a telegram from Mrs. Joe Brown telling me that Joe had passed away the night before. I was very sorry to hear that and I know you will be. The funeral ceremony, I think, will be tomorrow. Her address is 1030 West 59th Terrace, Kansas City, Missouri. I am hoping to see you when I arrive back in Washington and I hope we will have the usual good visit. I am also looking forward to the luncheon with you on the date you and the Madam set, which I believe is November 1st." Matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 21.5 x 17.5.
