Dwight D. Eisenhower autograph letter signed from Europe during WWII. He dates it simply 11 March. It reads in full: ''Darling / For the past 2 days I've had a bit of a sore throat but apparently escaped the 'flu', which has attacked many people, though in a fairly mild form. Our attacks have been going well, and I suppose the newspapers are busy talking all about them. The enemy becomes more and more stretched, but he shows no signs of quitting. He is fighting hard. I think John has about 2 weeks more of school. I had a note for him, asking me for a camera presented to me at the beginning of the war. It's a very complicated type, but I guess he can work it. Anyway, I'm sending it on to him with some film. It's amazing to read what you have to say about the 'pitfalls' of last summer. He scarcely left my side, going, I think to only one party - and that attended by a large number of people. So where he could have been in jeopardy is beyond me. He and I have many long and frank talks whenever we are together, and I must say I find him conservative and rather sedate. But he's lots of fun, at that. I wish I could have him around all the time. Day after tomorrow I start travelling again. I'll be on the jump pretty well for a week. I'm sure that you, dad, and mother must be having a fine time. Everyone coming from Washington says you look well and are going strong. Herman came back and found me with a bit of blood pressure again. But I hope to last out this business!!! Loads of love...Always your / Ike''. Runs 2pp. on ruled stationery. Measures 8'' x 10.5''. Toning and creasing, with a few very minor tears to edges, else near fine.
