Description

Ike expresses hope that “man’s progress in his social, political and economic pursuits may some day keep pace with his scientific exploits”

TLS as president, one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, May 24, 1954. Letter to Russell M. Stephens, the president of the American Federation of Technical Engineers, in full: “Please extend my warm greetings to the officers and members of the American Federation of Technical Engineers on the occasion of their biennial convention. In their laboratories and at their drawing boards, the engineers, architects, draftsmen and technicians who belong to your union are helping to create for their fellow citizens an ever-more comfortable and enjoyable way of life. The whole world can appropriately wish that man’s progress in his social, political and economic pursuits may some day keep pace with his scientific exploits. Then—and only then—will the joy of living which you are helping to fashion be truly universal and meaningful. As we look forward to that day, all of us must do our best to hasten it. This we can best do through the patient application of the spiritual lessons and principles which exerted so strong an influence at the time of our nation’s birth. All of you have my best wishes for a productive convention and for continued success throughout the years ahead.” In fine condition, with a crease to the upper right corner. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
