Description

Three TLSs as president, each signed "DE," one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, dated 1953-1958, all to Major General Howard McCrum Snyder, who served as Physician to the President for Dwight D. Eisenhower. The first, in part: "My special congratulations for your Birthday on the 7th! It seems a long, long way from the last greeting I sent you in Paris—is it possible that was only a year ago? I hope we will spend many more in such close and pleasant association." The second, in part: "If I must have a nitroglycerine 'companion,' I can't think of a finer one. Thank you for searching out for me such a handsome pocket piece." The third, in part; "Many thanks, once again, for your birthday present to me. Your choice proves—not that I needed any such proof—that you are a most intuitive man! Mamie and I enjoyed having you and Alice with us at Camp David for my birthday celebration." In overall fine condition. Accompanied by all three original White House transmittal envelopes.
