About this Item
Secretary of agriculture under Truman (1945-48) and New Mexico senator (1949-73). TNS, 1p, 8½" X 11", Albuquerque, NM, 1939 October 26. Addressed to Owen Davies. Near fine. On Anderson's "General Insurance" letterhead, the future cabinet member orders a copy of Ruth Underhill's "First Penthouse Dwellers in America," adding that his check will also "cover the 3-cent postage on the book." Interesting that Anderson shows an interest in this 1938 hardcore Native American classic. And-- gulp! Shipping a book at three cents -- those were the days. Large, bold signature on this exceptionally early item. Accompanied by an original and exceptional 8½" X 6½" glossy black-and-white news agency photograph showing President Truman and a small group of high-powered men. Newsprint text affixed to verso dates this image 7 April 1947, titles it "President Reviews Capital's Biggest Army Day Parade" and describes the Washington, DC scene: "More than 7,000 troops highlighted Army Week today in an Army Day parade down Constitution Avenue. President Truman reviewed the parade from a stand on the south end of the elipse. Photo shows, left to right: Commerce Secretary W. Averill Harriman; Fleet Admiral Wm. D. Leahy, the President's Chief of Staff; Agriculture Secretary Clinton Anderson; Secretary of War Robert Patterson; Treasure Secretary John Snyder, and President Truman." An evocative pair -- early letter and choice photograph. Seller Inventory # 31202
