TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 29, 1959. Truman writes John W. Snyder, his former treasury secretary. In full: “You do not know how very much I appreciated your letter of the 25th with the quotation from George Messersmith, who was Ambassador to Mexico at the time I paid my official visit to that country. I am glad that Mike Di Salle is working out as we had hoped. I think he will do a good job as Governor of Ohio. In fact, I know he will because of the job he did for me when I was President, the hardest job any man could have had at the time. Bess was very pleased to receive your message, and I hope that you and I will be able to get together much more often than we have been in the immediate past. I have never enjoyed a visit more than my last one with you in Washington.” Truman’s memory failed him a bit in this letter, as he had transferred his ambassador to Mexico to Argentina almost 10 months before his visit. In fine condition, with lower left corner crease and a few wrinkles.
