Description

"The enclosed bill will make a fair exchange"—Truman sends a buck to a generous journalist

Two items: a silver certificate one-dollar bill, signed on the back in fountain pen, “Harry S. Truman”; and a TLS, one page, 5.5 x 7, personal letterhead, June 5, 1953, sent to Alexander Jones of The Daily Home News, in full: “Thanks a lot for your thoughtfulness in sending me the 1924 dollar. If I remember correctly, the last dollars were coined in 1926. Mr. Hy Gardner took it upon himself to set the date of the last coinage and you gave me credit for it. I am fixing it so there will be no robbery — the enclosed bill will make a fair exchange.” Handsomely cloth-matted and framed together with a portrait and engraved plate to an overall size of 20.75 x 20.25. In overall fine condition.
