ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 14, 1958. Letter to the Hon. Robert P. Weatherford, Jr., the mayor of Truman's hometown, Independence, Missiouri. In part: "Why in the world would you return a campaign contribution? That was an appreciation in advance of what I thought you could do for the 4th Congressional District of Missouri. I am sorry to say that the country boys outside our country thought otherwise. But—that doesn't in any way affect my financial hope that you would win. That expense check was to meet things no one anticipated. Please keep it." In fine condition, with irregular envelope-related toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Truman's hand.
