TLS as president, one page, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, January 23, 1957. Letter to the medical officer, Joseph Vaughn, who cared for him at Fitzsimmons hospital. In full: “Always nice to hear from you. 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.” Accompanied by a copy of a memo requesting if arrangements should be made for this sergeant “Negro” to shake hands with the president, and other related correspondence. In fine condition, with slight corner tip toning. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
