Description

“It is encouraging to us here to know that you back home appreciate how tough the Nazis are. I suspect there will be much hard fighting before it is over here”

War-dated TLS signed “A. C. McAuliffe,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, 103rd Infantry Division letterhead, February 14, 1945. In a letter to J. F. Seiberling of Seiberling Rubber Comany, McAuliffe writes, in full: “Your kind letter of January 2d reached me only yesterday. Thank you very much for your good wishes. I would like to offer you my congratulations on turning out a record number of truck tires during December. It is encouraging to us here to know that you back home appreciate how tough the Nazis are. I suspect there will be much hard fighting before it is over here. We certainly have cause to be optimistic right now in view of the sensational progress of the Russians in the East and the steady progress of the Americans and British in the West. We all hope and pray with you for a quick victory.” Light creasing and toning, and faint shadows at each corner from previous mounting, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
