Document source description
In this letter from President Harry S. Truman to his former press secretary, Jonathan Daniels, who was writing a biography of the President (published in 1950 as "The Man of Independence"), Truman frankly evaluates the Cabinet members and other high officials he inherited from President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he took office upon Roosevelt's death in April, 1945. After recording his mostly unfavorable assessments of these individuals, Truman decided not to send the letter.
