TLS as president signed “Ike,” one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, October 30, 1953. Letter to his older brother Edgar Eisenhower. In part: “Tradition, politics, and a great deal of ignorance in critical quarters combine to prevent a truly efficient organization of the President’s office. I assure you, to compare with what was here eight months ago, we are not a model of smooth operation…I did try out my arm the other day…With 5 greens consuming 15 putts, I still limped around in the 7th—which for me was not bad, not good!” In fine condition, with a diagonal crease to the left side and filing holes to the top. Great content from Ike’s first year as president, commenting on the administrative transitions and logjams in the nation’s highest office. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
