^Lot 116 Harry S. Truman

Two TLSs, both signed “Harry,” both one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, dated September 26, 1962, and June 5, 1963, both to John Snyder. First letter reads, in part; “I was very sorry indeed to learn that the records of our Reserve Organization had been burned up. I am expecting to go through all the files I have and see if we can get together a history of the organization which you and the St. Louis Colonel worked out during the period from 1921 to 1938.”

Second letter reads, in part; “You and I went through a great many summers together with a great many youngsters whom we trained to become officers in the second World War. Sometime, or other, when it is convenient for both of us, I would like to sit down and talk to you and see if we can find the results of what we did. I had somebody, while I was in the White House, look up the list of those who were commissioned from our classes and it was a fantastic number who made good.” In fine condition, with a slight rusty paperclip mark to top of one letter.
