TLS as president signed “D.E.,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, February 16, 1954. Letter to Robert Montgomery, in full: "Thanks for sending in the various pictures and clippings about Andrew Wyeth. His work interests me a great deal—perhaps some day I may have an opportunity to see some of his paintings." In very fine condition.
Dwight D. Eisenhower took up painting as a hobby later in life—a practice suggested by Winston Churchill—as a tool for relaxation, and became quite a skilled artist in his own right. A desirable letter from the president, expressing his interest in one of America's foremost fellow painters.
