TLS, one page, 7.25 x 9.75, personal letterhead, February 17, 1956. Letter to Frederic R. Wood. In full: “I appreciate deeply your generous approval of my remarks in Life. I made them with reluctance and only because I felt the interests of our beloved country were at stake.” Nicely double-matted and framed with a photo of MacArthur to an overall size of 21 x 17.5. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Five years after President Truman controversially relieved MacArthur of his duties in 1951, their feud was renewed when Life published Truman’s memoirs in a series of articles. He was blunt in his comments on MacArthur, openly charging that he had been guilty of insubordination, to which the general angrily responded in a long essay published by Life on February 13, 1956.
