War-dated TLS signed “Dwight,” one page, 8 x 10.5, War Department letterhead, May 1, 1942. Letter to his older brother Edgar Eisenhower. In part: “I understand exactly how you feel about Mother and her visit to the far west, and I sincerely hope that she enjoys the trip…Mamie is extremely well, for her; and Johnny seems to be pursuing a normal course at West Point. She will probably go up to see him on May 29, which will be the day he goes from the status of lowly ‘plebe’ to an exalted ‘yearling.’” Eisenhower’s stationery also features an interesting war bond graphic in the lower left. In fine condition. At this time Eisenhower was in Washington, but within two months would be sent to London as the commanding general in the European Theater of Operations. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
