Eisenhower, Dwight D. Letter is signed in black ink. 34th President of the United States, 1953-1961.
Typed Letter Signed. One page, small Quarto, on his gold embossed monogram stationery, Gettysburg, PA, December 14, 1961. To George Cooper of New York. With this letter, Ike offers somewhat belated thanks to a friend for the gift of a book entitled, This Is Japan. The signature is bold and the letter clean, save two horizontal creases where the letter was once folded. In part:
"Dear George: / Ann has confessed that just before we left for Augusta, the handsome book entitled "This Is Japan" that you and Bess sent to me, arrived. It was too heavy to take along and she put it away - - and forgot to mention it to me… With best wishes to you and Bess for the finest of holiday seasons, and warm personal regard, / Sincerely, / D. E."
Fine.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
