Dwight D. Eisenhower autograph letter signed to his wife Mamie, circa 1942. It reads in part: ''Darling, There was just sent to me (Adm Stark) a copy of the article that was written about you in the Wash. Post of Aug. 2. I like it - and I particularly liked the fact that the lady writing it sensed so quickly what a lovely lady you are. Any story I see about you, and my family pleases me immensely - it's much more fun to read them than some of the the blurbs they concoct about me. The picture of you was not so good - but I still liked it. Made me homesick. By the way - wouldn't it be cute if some of the enterprising reporters should interview Johnny??? - a long telephone call from Mountbatten - I've got to look up a lot of telegraphic correspondence to see what I can do about some tricky problems - never a dull moment...what were the facetious or flippant articles that you wouldn't put in your book? I haven't seen any unkind things at all...I've been taking some treatments for a sore shoulder but the doc seems to have the answer...Lots of love - always...Ike''. 2pp. letter on two sheets measures 6'' x 9''. Very light creasing, else near fine.
