TLS signed “D.E.,” one page, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead, April 3, 1964. Letter to Major General Howard McCrum Snyder, who served as Physician to the President for Dwight D. Eisenhower. In part: "I certainly think that you can't worry too much merely about pain in your right hand—you doctors should be able to shoot a little cocaine into it or do something to keep it from bothering you too much! I can imagine the confusion that must have prevailed in Ward 8 during the succession of operations that General MacArthur had to endure. With surgeons, internists, technicians and nurses anxious to be on the spot every moment, it must have been quite a scene." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope bearing a stamped free frank. Particularly interesting content, given Snyder's status as a doctor and Eisenhower's comments on a fellow hero of World War II.
