[ Autograph ] Harry S. Truman T.L.S. "Harry" as President on White House letterhead, lp. 8vo., Washington, Jan. 17, 1946 to James M. Pendergast, nephew of Truman's political mentor Thomas J. Pendergast.In part: "...I think Bryce Smith would be more than happy to run again I asked him why he didn't run for mayor, in a sort of joking way. he took it in dead earnest. I think you could go further and do a lot worse...' Even as President, Truman kept involved in local politics. Very good.
