^Lot 119 Harry S. Truman

ANS signed “H. S. T.,” one page, 2.75 x 3.75, no date. Interesting note on both sides of an off-white slip, with a gold foil seal of the state of Missouri affixed to the reverse. In full: “Salus populi suprema lex esto! The liberal translators say ‘The welfare of the people is the supreme law.’ The conservative translators say ‘The will of the people is the supreme law.’ Both are excellent. I prefer the first.” On the reverse, under the seal, Truman adds, “A really great seal. Harry S. Truman.” In fine condition, with a touch of trivial soiling and impression of seal under text.
