Dwight Eisenhower Typed Letter Signed as President on Stamp Collecting

Description

Ike supports an Army surgeon's "Stamp Collection Club"—"Let her know whether your main interest is in domestic or in foreign stamps; I think we can be helpful either way"

TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, January 23, 1957. Letter to Sergeant Joseph B. Vaughn at Fitzsimons Army Hospital, in full: "I am delighted to know that you have organized a Stamp Collection Club in the Chest Surgery Department—and I have made arrangements so that packets of stamps will be sent to you from time to time. Perhaps you would drop Mrs. Whitman a line and let her know whether your main interest is in domestic or in foreign stamps; I think we can be helpful either way." In fine condition, with a small old tape stain in the upper left corner. Nice collecting content from the commander-in-chief.
