June 18. On White House letterhead to David Stern, Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. In full: "I hope that the next time you are in Washington you will drop in

set a convenient time. With all good wishes. Very sincerely yours". Accompanied by
unsigned matching envelope (7x4¾).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. Both items are encapsulated. Fine
