TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, December 28, 1956. Letter to the Hon. Gerald D. Morgan, special counsel to the president. In part: "Another year—and our first Administration—draw simultaneously to a close. In retrospect it seems that 1956 has been marked by an unusual number of highlights and crises, all of which have been dealt with as best we could and, I think, as effectively as possible. In large part the credit belongs to you and to the intimate members of the White House staff. In particular I would like to mention all that you did during the 1956 political campaign. (Actually, I am chagrined to find that I have written to people all over the country to express appreciation for their efforts, but I neglected to thank you people who inevitably bore the burden of the work). While I realize your efforts were motivated by a desire to see the program we had planned in the best interests of the American people carried forward to completion, nonetheless I am personally grateful for the long hours and disregard of self that was evident on the part of each member of the White House staff." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope.
