Description

Gracious letter from the future first lady

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 12, 1953. Letter to Ken Browne, in full: "The General and I are grateful indeed for your good wishes, and deeply touched to know that you have included us in your prayers. In the difficult days ahead, it will be heartening to know that there are those who realize the necessity for prayer, and its great power. I am so sorry I was not able to ask Prime Minister Churchill to autograph his picture for you. He was here such a short time, and had such a badly overcrowded schedule, there just wasn't an opportunity. I am returning the picture, for I know how you prize it. I send you our very best wishes!" In fine condition. Mamie Eisenhower would begin her tenure as first lady just eight days later.
