Lot 315
Eisenhower, Dwight D. & Mamie Doud. A group of four Typed Letters Signed: two on "DDE" letterhead and signed "D.D.E.," 3 June and 28 Oct. 1968, one signed by Brig. Gen. Robert Schulz ("Bob"), 11 July 1968, and one signed "Mamie Doud Eisenhower," all to Ray Bliss, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The first three thank Bliss for good wishes, a plaque, and flowers sent to Ike at Walter Reed Hospital. Mamie's letter thanks Bliss for his telegram of sympathy and has a holograph postscript, "How happy I am that 'Ike' lived to see victory for the 'grand old party' MDE." All very fine, with transmittal envelopes. During the last year of his life, Eisenhower’s health declined rapidly, and he spent most of his time at Walter Reed Hospital with Mamie at his side. He died on March 28, 1969.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
