TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, December 15, 1951. Letter to Stanley J. Matthews, president of Kingston’s 300th Anniversary, Inc., in full: “The Dutch Colonial pioneers, considering the brief term of Dutch sovereignty in the territory which they settled in this country, left permanent monuments wherever they went. Particularly is this true in the Hudson River Valley.
Happily for posterity the glorious Dutch legends have been immortalized in the writings of Washington Irving, himself a superior product of the area which has made so many and such rich gifts to our national life.
It gives me great pleasure to send hearty felicitations and warmest personal greetings to all who participate in the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of Kingston. The community has had a long and varied history and I trust it will for generations to come go forward with progress to the achievement of ever greater things.” In very fine condition.
