Lengthy TLS signed “Harry,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, June 6, 1962. Letter to John Snyder. In full: “Enclosed, is a copy of the letter Yerby Holman wrote to me at your suggestion, and copy of my reply to him. It was thoughtful of you to ask him to write to me and I appreciate what he had to say.” Under his signature, Truman adds a lengthy handwritten postscript: “Had a hell of a time at that M. Closkey dinner—and—they returned my money on the theory that my presence caused an addition to the paying customers! If you can beat that I’ll pay you for lying! I told them my style is $5.00 & not 250.00.” A carbon of a June 11, 1962, letter from Truman to Holman is paperclipped to the letter. In fine condition. Truman is rare in any handwritten material, made even more desirable with a great example of Truman’s wit.
