Truman, Harry S. 33rd President of the United States,1945-1953.
Typed Letter Signed ("Harry"). As President. One page, 9 x 7", Washington D.C., July 16, 1948. On light green "The White House" stationery. To David Morgan. One faint horizontal fold. In fine to very fine condition.
An excellent political letter written in the midst of the 1948 Presidential campaign, Truman writes: " …you are exactly right about the fellows on the street - none of them are happy over the hypocritical Republican platform and the combination which they are trying to foist on the country. When I get around to it everybody is going to know exactly what is happening…" Truman did get around to it -- his Whistle Stop campaign, dogged determination and faith in his message created one of the biggest turnarounds in American politics as he defeated Thomas Dewey in spite of the polls, the press and the Dixiecrats.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
