THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 26, 1950

Dear Senator:

I appreciated your letter of the twenty-fourth
very much.

You may have something on that "S". I'll
have to look into it. I think you and I had better
make it a point to see that gentleman if we get
to St. Louis. I don't see how he could be but a
grand person with that last name -- whether the
first one adds anything to his stature or not is
hard to say.

Thanks a lot.

Sincerely yours,

Harry Truman
