TLS signed “Ike E.,” one page, 7 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 14, 1966. Superb content letter to his friend Sig Larmon. In full, “I have already given to the Republican Advisory Committee a suggestion that they consider putting a Universal Military Training plank in their Platform. The politicians know that the majority of the American people have been expressing their approval of such a program for a number of years, but they stubbornly cling to the position, ‘Those people who believe in the project do not change their vote because their approval is an expression of favorable opinion. On the other hand, those who oppose it become very bitter about the matter and will change their vote against any nominee who supports it.’ Whether or not this is true I have no way of knowing. In any event, thank you a lot for sending the report.” In fine condition, with two light horizontal mailing folds. R&R COA.
