bess went there. many of the girls that she went to school with were planning to move on to college. many of them were going to go to some of the seven sisters schools on the east coast like basser and radcliffe and thing like that. sadly, bess couldn't do that because her family couldn't afford it. how many of you know the story of truman and the cake plate? it is a family legend. truman visited his cousins mary and nellie, who lived across the street from bess and her family at the gates house. they lived at 216 north del mayor, and the gates home was at 219 north delaware. harry had a good relationship with his cousins and visited them a lot. according to the story, bess's mother had sent a cake over to the nolan family. and of course the cake plate had to be taken back to the home. and so harry's cousin mary ethyl always said that harry volunteered and jumped up with something resembling the speed of lightning to volunteer to take the cake plate back across the street. when he took the cake plate

and bess went there. many of the girls she went to school with were planning to move on to college, planning to go to some of the seven sisters schools on the east coast, and sadly, bess could not do that because her family could not afford it. how many of you know the story of truman and the cake plate? [laughter] tammy: according to family legend, truman visited his cousin, mary ethel, who lived across the street from bess and her family at the gatehouse, at 216 north delaware. harry had a close relationship with his cousins and visited them a lot. according to the story, bess's mother had sent a cake to the nolan family and, of course, the cake plate had to be taken back to the home, and so, harry's cousin, mary ethel, said harry volunteered and jumped up with something resembling the speed of lightning to volunteer to take the cake plate back across the street and when he took it back, who else answered the door but bess wallace? and there it is. the very first letter that we know of in our collection

harry and bess. -- this is harry and bess. i love her hair net. there is not as many letters that survive from truman's time when he was campaigning for the senate, which is somewhat unusual because truman traveled a lot in 1934, when he was campaigning for the senate. sometimes, it is mystifying, the things that survive in the things that did not survive. and so, bess really did not want to go to washington, d.c., much at all. and her and harry finally had to have a meeting of the minds, and she would go to washington, d.c., for part of the year to be with him, and do the sorts of duties that is expected of a senate wife, and harry would be by himself and washington, d.c., for the second half of the year, the other half of the congressional session, and i imagine that was hard for everybody. nobody much liked it, but that was what they did. this particular letter is from around bess's birthday. and he writes about sending her a birthday present. her birthday is technically on the 13th, and it says he also wrote her letters on february 11, 12, and

all of the letters we have from harry to bess and bess to harry can be found on our website. and we have transcripts of them so they're searchable. you can read them. i have lived with harry's handwriting but it took me a couple years to get used to bess's handwriting. but we don't expect everybody to be able to decipher the handwriting. but all those letters are transcribed and available on our website for you to read and enjoy. >> i think your program is one of the best. also, i grew up thinking that bess was a pickle post. and you have certainly confirmed that for me. >> well, she didn't age well. and again, as first lady you have to be on. in many pictures when you sear us first later, she looks like her feet hurt. she's wearing uncomfortable shoes or something. she is just so shut down. but if you read some of her correspondence, she is a much more lighthearted person in private with people that she knows. as opposed to her public face. it is very different than her private face. but she does have some really good, amazing facial expressions. all right. well thank you al

this is harry and bess. i love bess' hairnet and i don't know if you can see it here in the picture, but you can see the little part where her curl is right there. and there is not as many letters that survive from truman's time when he was campaigning for the senate which is somewhat unusual, because truman travelled a lot in 1934 when he was campaigning for the senate, and sometimes it is mystifying the things that survived and the things that didn't survive. and so they -- bess really did not want to go to washington, d.c., much at all. her and harry had to finally have a kind of meeting of the minds, and she would go to washington, d.c., for part of the year to be with him and do the sorts of duties that's expected of a senate wife, and harry would be by himself in washington, d.c. for the second half of the year, for the other half of the congressional session. i imagine that it is hard for everybody, bess and harry and margaret, and nobody much liked it, but that is what they did. this particular lette

phrase i read a lot today and i think it is a good way to put it of course there's nothing hard and bess's could actually evaluate but a wall street is all about emotions and how investors feel about the future and i feel like some are seeing their hopes coming true in a way that strategy of threatening and being tough on trade partners seems to have worked trade partners or trade as putin have been taken a toll on aga countries' economies not so much on the american economy and this way trump could literally bend their will and now china amongst others has lost some of their leverage and so the u.s. could come out of these talks on top of the situation and then interview only on thursday top economic adviser larry kudlow said talking is better than not talking but the timing of these talks is crucial and investors seem to believe just hit the sweet spot in regards to timing right and then what comes out of the talking of course now i've been reading that there are. results u.s. consumers in spending mode is that right yes absolutely funny and that by the way contributed significantly to t

sadly, bess didn't really do a whole lot. it's too bad. i think mostly she wanted to be back in independence. in the recent years i've mentioned ellen wilson, of course florence, who i would say at least made the cracks in the mold that eleanor roosevelt broke. let's remember that about florence. she really did make some interesting changes. i did want to get back to the issue of dna. because this was something, telling this story of inclusivity, you probably know a couple of years ago evidence emerged that warren g. harding had fathered a child with nan briton. for years i had not believed this because i was on my, i guess, mission to show that this was a story. florence harding, one of the things we do, i think all of us in local history and inclusivity, we humanize these people. i wanted to show she was a human being, not just this harrah dan and shrew. yes, her husband did have an affair with carrie phillips, there were letters, the archivist helped me find these things in wyoming of all things. now those letters are finally open, open
