Earlier in the year a letter (1956) surfaced during scanning from Harry S. Truman to Oregon Military Lodge U. D. (2023-000-427).  Correspondence was sent to the Harry S. Truman Library asking if any documentation of this letter existed.  The RMR Memorial Library and Museum has received a response with a wonderful addition to the collection.  The letter (2023-000-434) is from Oregon Military Lodge U. D. to then President Harry S. Truman inviting him to attend their upcoming Stated Meeting.
