Scarce ALS as president signed “Ike,” one page both sides, 7 x 10.25, on his lesser-seen personal “DDE, The White House” letterhead, April 7, 1955. Letter to his wife Mamie. In full: “I hear a car is soon to leave here for the farm. Possibly the florist will be sending you flowers—but I want you to have these from my office so that they may help me say how much I miss you! I do hope you improve hourly, and are getting a real rest. When you feel like talking on the phone please call; I don’t want to bother you when you’re in bed. I hear from Howard about your physical condition; and he tells me something about the landscaping. Min and I had Ed & Suzy for dinner (upstairs) on Sun & Wed. On Mon. and Tues. we both went to bed by 7:00—and had our trays, each in his room. All my love—and my constant hope that you’re coming along splendidly.” In very good to fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope addressed in his own hand, “M. D. E.—Farm.”
