TRUMAN, HARRY S.
(1884 - 1972) 33rd President of the United States who led the country in the closing days of World War II and through the re-building of Europe under the Marshall Plan and the Korean War. Good content T.L.S. on his personal letterhead, 1p. 4to., Independence, Mo., Mar. 31, 1959, discussing the problem of American voter apathy. In part: "...In a great many states the day of national elections is a legal holiday. In Missouri, for instance, banks, drinking places and some other places of business are closed. According to the old rule voting was from sun-up to sun-down, but that has been changed now to specific hours, from 6:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Frankly, I do not know what would be the best way to wake people up to the fact that they are wasting a precious privilege when they do not exercise their right to vote...". Usual folds, mounting remnants at corners, otherwise very good condition.
