Lot #109

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Description

“Communist history would indicate that they—and especially the Chinese Reds—will never miss an opportunity to attack or embarrass the West ”

TLS signed “Ike E,” one page, 7 x 9.75, personal letterhead, January 28, 1963. Letter to Robert Cutler. In part: “I received your Bombay letter but did not answer it because I simply reasoned that you were travelling so fast that I did not know how to catch you. While I cannot personally either agree or disagree with your conclusions about the Chinese intentions, I certainly do agree that all Communist history would indicate that they—and especially the Chinese Reds—will never miss an opportunity to attack or embarrass the West anytime that they think they can get away with it. It seems to me that it would be out of character for the Chinese Reds to give up all their intentions vis-a-vis India.” In fine condition, with first stroke of signature a bit light due to reduced ink flow. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
