The William Hillman book Mr President alleges a scorching 1946 letter from Truman to secretary of state Byrnes and implies Truman’s self-accuracy. Byrnes denies any such letter existed or that Truman would resign if true. Jonathan Daniels questions, yet supports, Truman, while the Raleigh editor views the book as hinting at a political exit.
