TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 8.75, October 14, 1953. Letter to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Simmons, in full: “Many thanks to you both for the nice birthday cake I found on my desk this morning. Mrs. Whitman tells me its baking took your combined efforts, and that it was made from a Virginia recipe.” Eisenhower adds a typed postscript, “Thank you, too, for providing the most important element in a wonderful mid-morning ‘birthday party,’ giving me a chance to see some of my associates that I don’t get to see very often.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Simmons was a former Secret Service member who later served as the chief receptionist for FDR, Truman, and Eisenhower. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
