Hard-Luck Presidential Candidate and New York Governor, Tom Dewey signed letter to an "Italian fan" on her complimenting him on his Colubus Day Speech. Dewey was best known in New York for having sent Lucky Luciano to prison and for having survived an assasination plot by Gangster Dutch Schultz. But the rest of us know him as the man who lost to Harry Truman in the biggest upset in Presidential history.
