TLS, one page, 8 x 10.25, United States Senate letterhead, September 22, 1938. Letter to John Snyder, manager of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. In full: “Monday night, the Twenty-sixth, would be the ideal night for that study in probabilities which you referred to in yours of the Twenty-first.” Accompanied by a carbon of Snyder’s letter to Truman, dated September 21, 1938, and reads: “Several of your friends are planning a little dinner party and poker game for one night while you are here next week. Please let me know which night would be most convenient for you, September 26th, 27th or 28th.” Two punch holes to top edge, rusty paperclip mark to top left, and some scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition. Truman was an avid poker player, and in fact was set to attend a game on April 12, 1945, but the game was postponed so Truman could assume the presidency upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
