Eisenhower Writes a Loving Letter to his Wife During

Item Details

Description

Eisenhower Writes a Loving Letter to his Wife During WWII, "I miss you all the time"

EISENHOWER, DWIGHT. Autograph Letter Signed, “Ike”, 2 pp. on yellow ruled stationery, April 30, [1943], n.p., 8” x 10.5”. Minor creasing, small chip at upper right corner of first page, else near Fine.

Eisenhower penned this letter during World War II to his wife Mamie. Simply dated “Apr. 30.”, letter is likely from 1943, referencing his London aide, Commander Harry S. "Butch" Butcher. In part, "Sweetheart: Just returned from a 4 day trip and a busy one…I've been in rather good health but keep so busy I wouldn't have time to get sick anyway. However, I'm picking up weight, largely due I think to concentrated diet of starches & fats. I've got to cut down. Butch is well & going as fast as ever. He is a great help - because he never gets down hearted. This is a hasty note only, but I did want to get something off to you as quickly as I could. I love you so very much, and I miss you all the time. Lots & lots of love / Always Ike".

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
