TLS signed “Ike,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 9, 1966. Letter to cattle breeder Lewis Strauss. In part, “Herewish [sic] a check of Eisenhower Farms for the bull, Brandy Rock Bardolimere X-4. I shall need him for a short time only, to test whether he can settle seven heifers - six of them very good ones - that have proved to be hard breeders. Within ninety days any that are not safe in calf will be sent to the butcher and the bull re-sold to you on the same terms.” Eisenhower also adds a brief handwritten postscript, “P. S. Nevis is sending check by separate mail. D. E.” In fine condition, with a couple creases and a staple hole to top left. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
