ALS, signed "Harry," one page, 7 x 10, personal letterhead, December 10, 1955. Handwritten letter to Dean Acheson, who had served as Secretary of State in the Truman administration. In full: "Just as I'd put an air mail letter down the shoot in answer to yours, here comes this handwritten letter telling me you are an expert on upset insides! Well you are an expert on many things including politics, foreign affairs and shoes and sealing wax and whether the sea is boiling hot and pigs have wings—but I didn't know that you are familiar with the ramifications of 5000 feet of—should I say guts or intestines? If I show your letter to the Boss she'll say, of course, tell him to bring the baseball bat with spikes in the business end. Maybe I won't tell her but of course I will. It's too good to keep. I'm looking forward to a most pleasant session with you—bring Alice." Impressively quadruple-matted and framed with a portrait, medal, and typescript of Acheson's letter to Truman to an overall size of 34 x 21. In very fine condition.
