TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, June 4, 1959. Letter to F. Ryan Duffy, who served as a Democratic senator from Wisconsin from 1933-1939. In part: "It was wonderful to see McCarthy finally appeased, by the way. As a professor, I am a dud, but I have a lot of fun working at it, just as I did as Senator and as President of the United States. I sent a telegram to Mr. Uihlein's funeral and had a letter from one of the family acknowledging it. He was quite a man. Margaret's boy has turned out all right, but it was a little hard on the old man to have her in the hospital in New York at the same time Mrs. Truman underwent her operation here. Both came through in fine shape, and both are now at home." He adds a handwritten postscript, "Remember me to all the family. Talk about seeing all your friends at a funeral, we had a political boss here once named Joe Shannon; he never missed one!" In fine condition.
