Description

“Hope the plane landed right side up. I guess it did or I’d have heard”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, February 11, 1937. Short letter to John Snyder, Manager at Reconstruction Finance Corporation. In full: “I am enclosing you the old V.P’s picture along with a real rat chaser.” Under his signature, Truman adds a handwritten postscript, “Hope the plane landed right side up. I guess it did or I’d have heard.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning and a bit of trivial foxing. Accompanied by a copy of a letter to Truman from Snyder, dated one day earlier, mentioning his harrowing air journey. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
