Description

With peace secured in World War II, Truman looks toward "the preservation of civil liberties and the rights of all Americans"

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, July 18, 1946. Letter to Mr. A. D. G. Cohn, the Grand Chancellor of the Nu Beta Epsilon Law Fraternity. In part: "I have great pleasure in sending hearty greetings to all of the members of the Nu Beta Epsilon Law Fraternity as they assemble for their National Victory Convention. I trust that their deliberations will be fruitful of wise counsels and constructive action to bring all of their resources into the fight for an enduring peace. With the advent of a military victory there has become manifest a tendency to relax wartime unity and a disconcerting resurgence of divisive activity by some elements in our population. I am encouraged, however, by the recognition that the ideals of groups, such as yours, will prompt the members of this fraternity as members of the bar and as leaders in their respective communities to restore and foster that unity, tolerance and good will so essential to the preservation of civil liberties and the rights of all Americans." In fine condition. A fantastic letter exemplifying American ideals, written from the nation's highest office.
