April 12 – Letter from Harry S. Truman, April 12, 1945
by Darren Cole on April 12, 2011
Letter from Harry S. Truman to Mrs. George P. Wallace, 04/12/1945 (ARC ID 201122); File Unit: No. 249, Miscellaneous Historical Documents Collection, 1917 - 1953; Harry S. Truman Presidential Library; National Archives.
This letter was dictated by Truman before President Roosevelt’s death later that same day. Vice-President Truman prophetically informs his sister-in-law, May Wallace, that he has more work than he has ever had in the past and seems to have less time to complete it. A handwritten note by Truman at the bottom tells her that the letter was dictated "before the world fell in on me….you know what a blow it was. But – I must meet it."
