Dear Mr. Boyd:
Thanks to your continuing kindness to me, I have received the latest and fourteenth volume of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson from the Princeton University Press.
As yet, I have had a chance to read only your Foreword, which impressed me. It is one of the finest statements of its kind that I have ever read. Sincerely yours, Harry Truman
