HARRY S TRUMAN. TLS: "Harry S Truman",
1p, 7¼x10½. Independence, Missouri, 1958 January 16. To entertainer
Hildegarde. In part: "Mrs. Truman and I were delighted to receive your
Christmas card...We are deeply appreciative and hope that 1958 will be a year of
great success and happiness for you." In a postscript, Truman
handwrites: "Can you do that 'turn' in the Minuet in G now?"
President Truman's mother sent young Harry to piano teacher Mrs. Edwin C. White
who had been a student of the great Polish pianist, Paderewski. When Paderewski
was having a concert in their town, Harry's teacher introduced him to the great
pianist, who showed Truman how to play his famous composition, "Minuet in G".
Years later, President Truman played Paderewski's "Minuet in G" for his mother
in the White House. In the 1940s and 1950s, HILDEGARDE was considered by
many to be the top dinner and supper club entertainer in America. Lightly
creased. Slight ink transference at blank areas. Fine condition.
