75/20/48 P.P.F. 1395 May 17, 1948 Dear Rabbi Thurman: I enjoyed the visit with you very much and appreciated most highly your letter of May thirteenth. It looks as if the Palestine situation is very dark this morning although we recognized x204 the Jewish free state as soon as they organized a Government and asked us for recognition. x204-4 I shall remember your offer of service and expect to make use of it if the going gets any rougher. I hope you had a pleasant visit here and a good trip home. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Rabbi Samuel Thurman # United Hebrew Congregation Skinker Boulevard, near Wydown Saint Louis, Missouri (204-DMase 204- D Masc x 204- Misc x76-6
