Description

Forwarding the first lady’s favorite casual portrait of Ike to his longtime valet

ALS signed “Mrs. Eisenhower,” one page, 6.25 x 9, personal letterhead, December 9, 1970. Letter to the Eisenhower family’s trusted friend and longtime Ike valet, Sgt. John Moaney. In full: “I want to give you this picture of General Eisenhower in uniform—It is a wonderful informal likeness of him and you should have it as a remembrance of the many years you were to-gether.” Accompanied by the original 5 x 7 glossy photo of General Eisenhower in uniform, as well as the original transmittal envelope, addressed in Mamie’s hand. In fine condition, with scattered creases to photo, as well as mounting remnants to the reverse and a small tear to right edge. A beautiful combination that would display handsomely together.
