Description

“The key to effective results in every human effort is dedication”

TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 10, White House letterhead, December 2, 1954. Ike writes to Mrs. James A. Cathcart in Lake Forest, Illinois. In part: “Over the years I’ve found that the key to effective results in every human effort is dedication—a deeply held conviction that the cause is right and worthy of the effort it requires, combined with the ability and determination to work as hard as one can see it through. For all that you did in supplying the dedication and the tremendous outlay of effort to meet the challenge last fall, I am grateful indeed. To me it foretells victory two years hence for those who believe in government which seeks only to serve, and which will keep our nation morally and economically strong at home, as well as military strong throughout the world….” In good to very good condition, with irregular allover toning, subtle rippling, tiny chips to top edge, and mailing fold through signature. The signature is dark and otherwise unaffected. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
