196025343E1960. Original Autograph Letter Signed by former U.S. President Harry S. Truman to Dean Acheson who served as his Secretary of State from 1949 to 1953 regarding the 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon. With an Autograph Letter from Dean Acheson to Harry S. Truman. Both letters are written and dated before the 1960 Democratic National Convention and concern how how to handle the press. The first is a 4 page letter from Dean Acheson to Truman handwritten on yellow legal paper 8 inches by 12 5/8 inches double-spaced single-side only dated June 28 1960. In the letter Acheson who was arguably Truman’s greatest admirer and devoted friend writes to clarify for Truman the positive benefit to the party and the nation in favoring Kennedy over the other likely contenders including California Governor Pat Brown former Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. He begins: “Dear Boss As the Convention approaches we partisans are likely to become shall we say emphatic in our statements to the press. Could we make a treaty on what we shall not sayâ€. In his conclusion he writes “We have got to beat Nixon. We shall probably have to do it with Kennedy.†On July 2 1960 a week before Truman’s written reply he spoke at a dramatic televised press conference at the Truman library during which he lashed out at Kennedy citing his relative inexperience specifically doing exactly what Acheson had urged him never to do. After the press conference on a 2 page letter dated July 9 1960 written on his imprinted personal stationery Truman writes in part to Acheson: “Dear Dean:- You’ll never know how very much I appreciated your call and good letter. I tried my best to profit by both. Whether I did or not is up to you to decide. Anyway it looks as if things have to some extent slowed down and the band wagon isn’t running so fast. I’ve never been so wrought up and if you and the ‘Madam’ - the ‘Boss’ had not put the brakes on I’d have blown my top - maybe!†The letter closes with “Again thanks to a real friend and a real standby. My best to Alice Sincerely Harryâ€. In response to Truman’s criticism Kennedy responded noting that if fourteen years in major elective office was insufficient experience then that would have ruled out all but a handful of presidents including Wilson Roosevelt and Truman himself. In the end Truman opted to support Kennedy and his running mate Lyndon B. Johnson campaigning for them across nine states making thirteen speeches. These letters make a remarkable association referencing an historic moment in American presidential history. unknown

1952BOOKS005293<p>Royal octavo 9 3/4" x 7" issued in wrappers. Volume 8 numbers 2 through 20 lacks number 1. Published bi-monthly. Betts: 42-9 First edition.<br /><br /><em>Fairy Chess Review </em>FCR was a magazine that was devoted principally to fairy chess problems but also included extensive original results on related questions in mathematical recreations such as knight's tours and polyominos under the title of "dissections" as well as much else such as chess-related word puzzles.</p><p>It appeared six times per year and nine volumes were published from 1930 to 1958. Although they are often referred to under the title <em>Fairy Chess Review</em> the first two volumes August 1930 to June 1936 in fact bore the title <em>The Problemist Fairy Chess Supplement.</em> These were published by the British Chess Problem Society BCPS as an offshoot of their magazine <em>The Problemist</em> which began in 1926. The first two volumes were supported financially by the Falmouth businessman Charles Masson Fox who was also a problemist who died in 1936. From volume 3 onward the <em>FCR</em> was independent of the BCPS although most of its contributors were members. The editor from 1930 until August 1951 was Thomas Rayner Dawson who died in November that year. An "In Memoriam" issue was edited by C. E. Kemp in February 1952 and the magazine then continued under the editorship of Dennison Nixon April 1952 to April 1956 and C. E. Kemp June 1956 to April 1958.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Fold in center for mailing purposes some internal markings light edge wear.
