TLS as President signed “D. E.,” one page, 7 x 10, White House letterhead, December 12, 1958. Letter to his friend Marty Snyder, declining an investment opportunity. In part: “I am sorry your venture has not been very successful. However, I do not see how I could personally be of any assistance in helping you obtain the capital you feel you need. I have seriously tried to avoid interesting myself in any business matters during these past six years. Because numbers of my friends do discuss, conversationally, business projects, I am particularly careful in their case not to make any suggestions concerning any such things, for the simple reason that they are my friends.” Double matted and framed with an engraved portrait of Eisenhower to an overall size of 19 x 15.25. Toning along horizontal mailing folds, otherwise fine condition. JSA/John Reznikoff Auction LOA and RRAuction COA
