Dear Harry
Aww, what a Valentine this book is! More enjoyable, I think, because i read it as a follow-up to David McCullough's "Truman," which delivers a happy description of the sweetnatured and ethical man Harry Truman was from youth, and a clearer picture of how much he really really loved that young woman whom everyone considered "too good for him." The letters show that he was not only good enough to be her husband, but possibly the best husband she could have hoped to have. Ever.
If you start to find the letters repetitive (and they are, a bit, just as daily emails tend to be), don't let that stop you reading: just switch to "skim" mode for a while. Or turn to them on a day when the news seems dark and drear. You'll like being reminded what faithfulness and tenderness look like.
