We will be thinking of you here…” President Eisenhower adds the handwritten postscript “I hope these flowers will brighten your room. D.E.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A bright, clean example with an exceptionally bold signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
