5106 Garfield Avenue Kansas City 4, Missouri April 19, 1945. Hon. Harry S. Truman President of the United States Washington, D. C. My Dear Harry:- Your letter of the 13th received and as always was very glad to hear from you. I know you have had a big job thrust upon you that you did not seek, but I feel confident that you will carry through in a manner that will be satisfactory to all the people. You have made a very auspicious start and one hears nothing but good things said about the way you are handling things. We have had letters, telephone calls and telegrams from all over the country, from Republicans and Democrats alike, and everyone feels you are the man for the place. We are very proud of you and know that as time goes on we will have cause to be more proud. As I told you over the phone the other night, Mary Jane and I are planning on going to Dallas the latter part of May to visit the family down there, we will also go up and see Henrietta for a day or two. Mary Romine got in yesterday and I am going to take her out to your mother's tonight. Ralph and I were out there Friday and she and Mary were both fine. We will do everything we can to help them both at any time. If there is anything at all that Ralph and I can do either here or back there, to be of any assistance to you all you have to do is say so, for you know that we are only too willing to be of any help. Sometime in the future when things get settled I want to be able to come back and see you in your new joh, but do not want to come for quite a while unless I could be of some help. Please give our best to Bess and Margaret. With kindest personal regards and best wishes, I am, Sincerely, Olive Olive L. Truman.
