Description

Rare handwritten letter between President and First Lady

ALS as president signed “Harry,” one page, 5 x 8, no date. Letter to his wife, First Lady Bess Truman, in full: "Weather is not so good. Have had a very pleasant and restful time. Wish you and Margie were along. Let me know if you make the St. Louis connection. I believe you should bring your mother back to the White House. I am afraid that trip to Denver will be too hard on her. My best to everybody." Truman has added an instruction note to upper border, in which he incorporates his full signature: "Send to White House and have them phone to Mrs. Harry S. Truman, 219 North Delaware St., Independence, Mo." In fine condition. Handwritten letters from Truman as president remain quite scarce, with this particular example, penned to his wife and twice-signed, a decidedly unique presidential keepsake.
