TLS as president signed “D. E.,” one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, May 2, 1960. Ike writes to George O. Strecker in Lake Forest, Illinois. In part: “Your letter gave me my first intimation of the fact that you retired as of May first. Belated as they are, I hope you will accept my congratulations, and my best wishes for the additional satisfaction and pleasure I know you will find with the relief from at least certain of your responsibilities. I haven’t felt it wise to send Perc Thompson more than an indirect word, but I too hope, with you, that he may be successful in his effort to become (I think I am right) the first Republican Secretary of State of Florida. It is good news that he feels Florida will support Dick Nixon in the November election….” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition.
