TLS as president signed “D. E.,” one page, 7 x 8.75, White House letterhead, February 12, 1953. Letter to John W. Snyder. In full: “This sounds very official and formidable, but I guess that’s the way these governmental documents are supposed to be. In any event, its writing reminds me that I have not seen you for a long time.” Paper clipped to the letter is a typed statement attributed to Eisenhower in March 1948. It reads, in part: “Politics is a profession, a serious complicated and in its true sense, an able one. In the American scene I see no dearth of men fitted by training, talent and integrity for national leadership.” Typed at the bottom, “The above statement made when there was a great boom on for MacArthur.” Another slip is also paper clipped to the letter commenting on an election between Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson based on “emotional vibratory energy.” In fine condition, with some light staining to edges, aforementioned paperclip, and toning, creasing, and edge tears to statement. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
