New York....., 1958. Lot of 2 letters with autograph of Averell Harriman on State of New York, Executive Chamber, letterhead. Harriman served as governor of New York for one term before losing to Nelson Rockefeller in 1958. As governor, he increased personal taxes by 11% but his tenure was dominated by his presidential ambitions. Harriman was a candidate for the Democratic Presidential Nomination in 1952, and again in 1956 when he was endorsed by Truman but lost (both times) to Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson.
