Description

Declining to make an appointment at the end of his term, Truman suggests “We had better let Ike fill it with one of his political friends. He may send the head of the Shivercrats”

TLS, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, December 4, 1952. Letter to Creekmore Fath. In part: “I don’t believe it would be fair to Maury to appoint him to a position and then have him kicked out by the succeeding Administration. I’ve made very few appointments since the election, and those only from necessity. There isn’t any necessity of our having an Ambassador to Mexico at the present time. We had better let Ike fill it with one of his political friends. He may send the head of the Shivercrats, which would probably be all right from his viewpoint.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
