Typed Letter signed: "Harry Truman" as President, 1p, 6¾x8¾.
Washington, D.C., 1949 May 12. On White House letterhead to Albert West,
Boston, Massachusetts. In full: "Mr. William Taylor handed me the
bound volume of Mozart's Sonatas. He informed me that the binding and
hand-tooling were done by the boys of the Quineboquin Camping Club under your
direction. It certainly is a beautiful book. Please thank the boys for me.
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 of the Truman Library. Fold crease not at signature.
