TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, December 17, 1956. Letter to his former treasury secretary. In part: “Thank you very much for the Christmas card. The ‘Boss’ and I are deeply grateful to you for your thoughtfulness in remembering us. Back in 1939, if you recall, we had to give up the custom of sending cards because our list had grown by then to more than three thousand names. It was impossible to keep up with it, but we do appreciate receiving cards from our friends.” In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to top edge.
