Collection of seven TLSs, five signed "Harry," and two signed "Harry S. Truman," all one page, all 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, dating from May 13, 1935–December 10, 1936, all to William M. Kirby in Kansas City, Missouri, who was the Acting Veterans Placement Representative. Letters read:

May 13, 1935: “Appreciate very much your letter of the Tenth, with the clipping from the Kansas City Times, which was a little bit premature so far as the Missouri set-up is concerned. If you have read Friday and Saturday’s papers you will know by this time what Clark and I have in mind. I do not think you should be unduly alarmed.”

June 19, 1935: “I appreciated very much your letter of the fifteenth, regarding Frank Oldham. I feel the same way about it, and as you know I usually weigh the situation very carefully when the opposition is talking. I had a most pleasant visit in Jefferson City, and was very happy that I got to see all the gang. I am hoping that we will get everything ironed out as it should be.”

July 11, 1935: “Thanks very much for the clippings from the Star mailed from Excelsior Springs, and also the telegram regarding the situation at Jefferson City. The thing is now in a state where I think it will be possible to iron it out for the best interest of all concerned. I am working on it.”

July 19, 1935: “Appreciate your telegram of the Seventeenth, and I am of the opinion that Stanley Mathewsom and Annie Lockett had better stay in Cincinnati. I do not know what happened to the Holliway matter. I sincerely hope the employment set-up in Missouri may be worked out to the satisfaction of both of us, although it is in a terrible muddle right at the present time.”

December 6, 1935: “I appreciate very highly your letter and telegram regarding Sydney Stephens. Of course I will be most happy to help in any way I possibly can. As soon as I can get to it I will have an interview with Mr. Persons on the subject and see just what he has in mind.”

March 3, 1936: ”I appreciate very much your note of March 1, and I was morally certain that Mr. Stephens would not resign.” Truman has added a two line handwritten postscript that reads: “Thanks for your work at Jeff City on Feb. 22.”

December 10, 1936: “I am enclosing herewith copy of letter which as been written to your friend, Mr. Herman A. Weiter of St. Louis, which is self explanatory. I hope it will be possible for the Washington office to reassign him in the near future.” The copy of the letter mentioned by Truman is included with the letter. In overall very good to fine condition.
