33rd President. Fantastic typed letter signed “Harry S. Truman” AS PRESIDENT, March 22, 1947, The White House Washington stationery, to Joseph D. Guilfoyle, a former aide to Truman when he was a Senator and whose son born later in 1947 would become a godson to Truman, in full:
I certainly appreciate the telegram from you and Mrs. Guilfoyle very much. Naturally we were happy that the program turned out all right for Margaret.
In a lengthy handwritten postscript, the President adds:
Hope things go well with you. Harry Salisbury has to go back to the Army and is now in Germany.
Mailing fold, else fine.
On March 17, 1947, Margaret Truman made her professional concert debut by singing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on a nationwide radio broadcast on the Ford Motor Company's "Sunday Evening Hour". Of course, in 1950, Paul Hume, the Washington Post music critic, would have some thoughts about Margaret’s singing which would lead to Truman sending one of the most famous letters in Presidential autograph collecting!
