The President and a number in his party once again visited the beach and toured nearby Fort Taylor. President Truman also joined in a little high jinx that afternoon when a couple of friends, Mr. Connelly and Mr. Ross arrived at the "Little White House" at Key West. Among the merriment was a parade which featured a local black high school band and cheerleaders and streamers of "bath towels, bed clothing and miscellaneous paraphernalia strung across the street at intervals of about one hundred feet."
The President and Mrs. Truman sent the following message to England's Princess Elizabeth: "Mrs. Truman and I are delighted at the news of the birth of a son [Prince Charles] and felicitate you and the Duke upon this happy occasion. Harry S. Truman" Truman also sent a telegram to the retiring Canadian Prime Minister, Mackenzie King.
