Description

“I have heard the war between the States described as, The Civil War, the Late Unpleasantness, the War to Liberate the Slaves, but never before have I heard it called the War of Northern Aggression”

TLS signed “D.D.E.,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 19, 1968. Letter to Earl Mazo, at The Reader’s Digest. In part: “Thank you very much for the explanation of Clemson’s venture into the blue cheese business; it was interesting—not to say romantic. I have heard the war between the States described as, The Civil War, the Late Unpleasantness, the War to Liberate the Slaves, but never before have I heard it called the War of Northern Aggression. You were very thoughtful to send along to me the Gallup report on relative popularity of public figures. While, of course, I was pleased that I was named No. 1, the amazing thing was that I cannot recall ever having heard of this particular evaluation, yet I find that I have been included on each of the 22 years the report has been published; however, by far, the most interesting point in your letter was the postscript about your son, Mark. I hope that his victory when running as an ‘Eisenhower-Nixon Republican’ has real significance for the upcoming election.” In fine condition, with some light corner creasing. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
