Souvenir typescript entitled "A Talk with Eisenhower on the Battle Situation…Strategy After the Battle of the Bulge," two parchment pages, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in fountain pen, "Montgomery of Alamein, F.M." The document bears an Eisenhower stamp and first day cancelation at the top. Montgomery recounts a talk he had with Eisenhower, in part: "On the 28th December Eisenhower visited the northern flank and I had a long talk with him in his special train at Hasselt. The Ardennes battle was then well in hand and our conversation turned mainly on what was to be done when it was over. I again gave it as my opinion that the Ruhr was the immediate objective; all available power must be concentrated to secure it; operational control of the forces involved must be exercised by one commander." It goes on to quote from a letter sent to Eisenhower by Montgomery, outlining eight important points from the conversation. In very good to fine condition, with overall light, mottled toning.
