Collector Takes $1,000
Settlement For Loss Of
Letter From Truman
LOS ANGELES, UR — George
Cheney accepted yesterday a
$1,000 settlement for the loss of
a letter signed by former Presi
dent Truman.
Cheney, a labor relations con
sultant, had filed a $30,000 dam
age suit against A1 and Len Aaron
operators of a picture framing
business.
A letter from Truman to Chen
ey was given to them for fram
ing. Afterward they told Cheney
they had lost it. They said later
they thought $30,000 an astrono
mical figure for a Truman sig
nature. Their attorney, Jerry
Pacht, wrote the former president
for advice and said Truman re
plied:
“I do- not see how I can be
of any help to you. Place what
ever valuation you deem fair on
any letter of mine. Some have
been duly evaluated.”
