TQS, signed as president, one page, 8 x 9, White House letterhead. Headed at the top, “From the Address of the President, at the Testimonial Dinner Honoring William M. Boyle, Jr., at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. September 29, 1949.” In full, “And I liked this Regan boy down here. He knows how to do it! More than that, he’s a darn good Democrat. And he always comes to the Democrats when they ask him–and serves them just like he did tonight.” Signed at the conclusion by Truman. Accompanied by a 1949 TLS from Truman’s secretary, Charles Ross, presenting the quote to famed Irish tenor Phil Regan. Both the quote and letter are affixed to slightly larger pieces of cardstock. In fine condition, with a mild shade of overall toning. Regan was a lifelong Democrat who had sung the National Anthem at the 1940, 1944, and 1948 Democratic National Conventions, and was called upon to sing many times by Truman.
