Harry S. Truman 1947 Diary
     
July 5 & 6, 1947   July 5:

Spent a quiet pleasant day at Stanley Woodward's place.

It is ideal.

Haven't had a more pleasant week end since moving into the great white jail, known as the White House!





July 6:

Drove an open car from Charlottesville to Washington-starting at 9:15 Washington time.

Had a V[irgini]a Highway Policeman in a car ahead making the pace at exactly the speed allowed by V[irgini]a law. He forced all the trucks to one side as I always wanted to do. Made the drive in 3 hours. Had Sec[retary] of Treas[ury] Snyder, Adm[iral] Leahy, and Doctor Brig[adier] Gen[eral] Graham as passengers. All said they enjoyed the ride and felt they needed no extra accident coverage!
