Ike rectifies a military snafu

TLS, one page, 7 x 9, War Department, Chief of Staff letterhead, June 21, 1946. Letter to a woman whose husband was sent overseas. In part: “I have looked into the matter of your husband’s enlistment and found that he should not have been assigned to duty outside the United States. Through an administrative error, he was sent overseas…I have sent cable instructions to the European Theater directing that your husband be returned to this country for permanent assignment. I am truly sorry that you have been caused so much anxiety.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Light damp staining to left side, and mild toning to bisecting horizontal fold, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
