World War II–dated TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, US Senate letterhead, January 14, 1944. Letter to John W. Snyder. In full: “The following information has been given me by Colonel Pfeil, War Department Liaison Officer regarding the case of Corporal George A. Kieffer: ‘I have today received assurance from the War Department that Corporal Kieffer was given a definite assignment to a unit before leaving the United States. I am unable to give you the designation of the unit, as the War Department regards that as a secret matter while troops are in transit. The family should hear from the young man upon completion of his journey, at which time he will be permitted to disclose the designation of his unit and his new Army Post Office number.” Truman adds a handwritten postscript at the conclusion, “Hope we can have the same luck with Schoenberg.” In fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
