custodialHistoryNote
When former President Harry S. Truman began writing his memoirs, he borrowed from his sister, Mary Jane Truman, letters that he wrote to her from 1945 to 1948. Mr. Truman's staff made photocopies of the letters and returned the originals to Miss Truman. Miss Truman then destroyed the original letters. When the Truman Library accessioned Mr. Truman's personal papers, the photocopies of the letters were included as part of those papers, and are now the only known copy of the letters. Some of the letters contain notes written by Mr. Truman and his assistants who worked on the memoirs.
