About this Item

3 typed letters printed on rectos only; previous folds, else fine. Includes 2 letters from Stassen on his letterhead, dated September 2 and October 20, 1947, in which he thanks a supporter for her donations to the Stassen Presidential campaign, his second of what would eventually be 12 runs. The second letter, written at the start of his national campaign, is especially hopeful: "[T]here is every indication in recent polls and comments of Republican leaders that we are in an excellent position as we round the turn of the year and start down the stretch. My recent journey through New England sparkled with good news." The third letter, also dated September 2, 1947, on personal letterhead, by Alfred D. Lindley, Treasurer of Stassen's Minnesota Fund and former Olympic gold medalist (rowing, 1924), thanking the addressee for "a very handsome contribution". Lindley concludes his missive with "Dewey has declined considerably from his peak. The Eisenhower boom is not yet serious, and we firmly believe that when Harold starts his formal campaign sometime this fall that you will see a marked increase in confidence in his ultimate success".
