TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, May 12, 1945. Letter to E. J. Short, Sr., of Republic, Missouri. In full: “You don’t know how very much I appreciated your good letter of the fourteenth. I remember very well the various conversations referred to in the letter and I was always fearful that responsibility would be mine. Now that I have it I will have to meet it. It was certainly a pleasure to hear from you. One of the terrible penalties is that I can no longer be free and friendly with the people I want to be free and friendly with. This is a job that takes all the time a man has but if you come to Washington be sure to let me know and I will be glad to see you. Give my best to Mrs. Short.” In fine condition, with some light soiling along right edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. An insightful letter with Truman recalling their recent conversations about the possibility of Roosevelt’s death and the great responsibility which Truman inherited when it happened.
