TLS as president signed “D. E.,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, October 12, 1956. Letter to David Marx, of the famous toy manufacturer Louis Marx and Company, in full: “Again that well-known Marx intuition is functioning perfectly. I did want a small radio for my bedroom, and I understand that the one that has just arrived is superlative in quality. I have only one comment—I hope you don’t expect me to listen to all of the speeches of the opposition in the next three weeks! Thank you—and Louis—too for the gifts that arrive in a never-ending stream from the Marx brothers. We give them out strategically, and I do think that people get a great kick out of something they receive at the White House. I hope that eventually some of the credit trickles back to you!” In fine condition, with trivial mirroring to some of the text. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Just weeks after this letter was written, Eisenhower secured a second term as commander-in-chief with a landslide victory over democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson in the 1965 presidential election.
