World War II-Date White House Letter – President for Just Eighteen Days, Since the Death of F.D.R., Truman Thanks Supporters
War-Date Typed Letter Signed, 7” x 8 ¾”, as President on White House stationery, to “Dr. and Mrs. Silas P. Bittner, 903 Schaff Building, 1505 Race Street, Philadelphia 2, Pennsylvania.” During the final days of the war in Europe – just eighteen days after the death of President Franklin Roosevelt and, coincidentally, on the day that German Chancellor Adolf Hitler committed suicide in Berlin – the new President thanks the Bittners for their support and well wishes.
