Typed Letter Signed: "Harry Truman", 1p, 7¼x10½. Kansas City,

Student Council, New York University, New York, New York. In full:
"I appreciated very much your letter of the 14th, but due to the fact that I
am completely covered up with work, it won't be possible for me to be with you
on May third. I regret it very much. Sincerely yours," Harry S.
Truman (1884-1972) served as 33rd U.S. President from 1945-1953. The
former U.S. Senator from Missouri (1935-1945), who had been elected
FDR's Vice President in 1944, assumed the presidency upon FDR's death on
April 12, 1945. Faced with the ordeal of ending WWII (1939-1945), Truman ordered
the atomic bombings on Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9). He fought
the Cold War with the Truman Doctrine, a policy reducing Communist pressures on
Greece and Turkey through economic and military aid. During his second term,
Truman sent U.S. forces to South Korea to repel invading North Korean troops.
After leaving the presidency, Truman returned to Independence, Missouri,
where he wrote his memoirs and was actively involved in the creation and
expansion of the Truman Library. Fold creases not near signature. Fine
condition.
