BESS TRUMAN

BESS TRUMAN (1885-1982), First Lady of the United States. Autograph Letter Signed, "Bess W. Truman," on The White House, Washington letterhead. Three pages, 4 1/2" x 6 7/8". Washington, D.C. March 21st, 1952. Accompanied by original The White House, Washington envelope with "Washington, D.C." postal cancellation. Mrs. Truman writes, in part: "Dear Mrs. Falk, We are glad you have enjoyed "Mr. President." I must confess I have not yet had time to finish it. I do hope June is a lucky month for you and your husband! … Yes I'm afraid the President is going to have some of those "lonely dinners" again this summer but I simply have to take Mother home. I am really not too happy about going, myself … " Some toning on envelope. Else Fine.
