OCR Page 1 of 2THE HARRY S. TRUMAN LIBRARY, INC.
125 EAST THIRTY-FIRST STREET
KANSAS CITY 8, MISSOURI
June 14th, 1955.
Honorable Harry S. Truman,
Federal Reserve Bank Blvd.
Kansas City 6, Missouri.
Dear Mr. President:
While the Greater Kansas City Trustees of the Harry S.
Truman Library, Inc., have thanked you and Mrs. Truman personally
for allowing us to have a cocktail party at your home for the out-of- -
town guests who attended the ground breaking ceremonies of the
Library, there still remains a little matter of business to be completed:
There is enclosed herewith a check for $250.00 to reimburse
you and Mrs. Truman for out-of-pocket expenses for food, beverages,
and help that was necessary to handle the number of out-of-town guests.
While we do not have an exact listing of the expenditures made, and
doubt very much that this covers your actual expenses, I hope it will
close the books.
It goes without saying that in our opinion the party was most
helpful in promoting fund raising for the Library as well as bringing
to the attention of all the visotors the value of the Library not only to
this community but the whole country.
Sincerely (yours Mere
HARA
