A family member of former president Harry S. Truman will make an appearance Friday night at Truman State University.

Clifton Truman Daniel, Truman’s oldest grandson, will speak about his book  titled “Dear Harry, Love Bess.”

The publisher from Truman State University Press, Nancy Rediger said the book is letters written to Harry from his wife.

“And these are letters that Bess wrote to Harry throughout a period from 1919 to 1943,” she said.
