I didn't go to church today. Aunt Katie and them were by. We went for a ride. They stayed for dinner.



Harry and Bess Truman on their wedding day.
Harry wrote love letters to Bess for almost 50 years, including one on May 7, 1933.
To read that letter as well as others, visit: http://www.trumanlibrary.org/bessltr.htm
The letters not only show the personal loving relationship between Harry and Bess,
but, later, the President's efforts to use his wife as a sounding board for the issues of state.
