President Truman - a typed 1 page letter, 10 x 7 inches, Independence, Missouri, dated 13 June 1962, thanking Claude Pepper and his wife for sending a birthday message on Truman's 78th birthday. The typed portion of the letter reads as follows: "It was kind and thoughtful of you and Mrs. Pepper to send me such a thoughtful birthday message on my 78th Birthday. Your greetings added pleasure to my day and you have my thanks and best wishes. Sincerely yours. T he handwritten portion reads as follows: [Signed] Harry Truman. Tell me how you are doing. I am anxious to know. Harry 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). The typed text may have been written by a secretary, but the handwritten Truman signature and postscript are believed to be in Truman's hand. Thi s is a unique piece of history for collectors of presidential memorabilia.
