ALS as president signed “H. S. T.,” one page, 5 x 8, White House letterhead, no date. Letter to John W. Snyder, Secretary of the Treasury. In full: “Could you by any chance get this boy off my neck. He is a nuisance–par excellence. Cousin of a former Mayor of St. Joseph [Missouri] and has set himself in with Mrs. T. He has some good qualities–personal persistence being one.” Letter is stamped in a blank area “Noted Jun 8 1948 / J. W. S.,” and bears a red pencil notation, “File, The President,” in an unknown hand. In fine condition, with staple hole to top left and a bit of mild toning.
