HARRY S TRUMAN
President Truman signed this typed letter on his personalized
stationery to an autograph hunter in 1963.
Typed Letter signed: "Harry Truman". 1 page, 7¼x10½, on
Truman's personalized stationery. Sept. 5, 1963. Addressed to Mr. Richard
Calow, Ozone Park, New York. In full: "Dear Mr. Calow: The autograph you
requested is the signature to this letter. I am happy to send it to you and
appreciate the fact that you want it. Sincerely yours ,". Truman
(1884-1972), a WWI veteran, one-time haberdasher, former U.S. Senator from
Missouri (1935-1945), had been elected Vice President for the fourth
term of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, and he assumed the presidency in April
1945, following the sudden death of FDR. During his first term, Truman
ordered the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (August 1945),
forcing a Japanese surrender and the end of WWII (1939-1945), announced his
Fair Deal domestic program (September 1945) and issued the Truman
Doctrine (March 1947), which guaranteed aid to any nation resisting
Communist aggression. Following his stunning 1948 defeat of Republican
challenger Thomas E. Dewey, Truman oversaw the foundation of NATO (April
1949) and sent troops to South Korea to repel the North Korean invasion (June
1950). After leaving the White House, Truman returned to Missouri, where
he wrote his memoirs and was actively involved in the creation of the Truman
Library. Folds and creases (not near signature). Lightly soiled at bottom fold.
