Two TLSs, both signed “Ike,” one page, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead. Both letters are addressed to Eisenhower’s former White House Chief of Staff Wilton B. Persons. The first, dated February 25, 1965, in part: “The journey to London was a sad one for me as you know but I did not want to pay my last respects to Sir Winston. We will not see his like again. I do appreciate your complimentary comments on the little tribute to his memory. Amazingly enough we have been swamped with correspondence about it, and The National Geographic reproduced it in pamphlet form”; the second letter, dated September 20, 1966, in part: “I am not booked for any ‘series’ of TV appearances this fall. However, on ABC I will be in one show that is called ‘Churchill as a Soldier.’ I think it will come out on the anniversary of his death in January.” In overall fine condition, with some light foxing to the earlier letter. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
