Presentation copy from US President Truman to Bluma Jacobson, widow of Edward "Eddie" Jacobson, about whom Truman wrote, was "as fine a man as ever walked."
Jacobson (1891-1955) served alongside Truman in the US Army, after which they went into business together. Jacobson awoke Truman’s sympathies for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, resulting in the United States becoming the first nation to grant diplomatic recognition to the new State of Israel on May 14th, 1948. Indeed Truman signed the executive order just eleven minutes after the Jewish state proclaimed its independence.
Inscription: “To Mrs. Bluma Jacobson from her long time friend. May God bless and keep you happy always. Harry Truman, Independence, Sept. 29, 1960.”
A significant association copy.
