Log of President Truman's Ninth Visit to Key West, Florida, and Ft. Jefferson National Monument, 2-22 March 1951.

Summary:  Family played an important role in President Truman’s life, and despite the fact they were often apart, he communicated with his wife and daughter often. During this trip to Key West, he spoke with Bess and Margaret nearly every day by phone. On the 4th, he and the rest of his party listened to the radio, as Margaret made a guest appearance on Tallulah Bankhead’s “Big Show” radio program. Truman also enjoyed listening to records of Margaret singing as he worked on official business.
