Ike on Paul-Henri Spaak: "The free world is indebted to him for his leadership"

Original Western Union telegram from President Dwight D. Eisenhower to Robert B. Stewart, Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, one page, 8 x 10, no date but circa 1960. In full: "It is a pleasure to send greetings to those attending the Clayton Lectures at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and my personal regard to your guest-lecturer, Dr. Paul-Henri Spaak. On the subject of 'European Economic Integration and the Western Alliance,' there is surely no greater authority than Dr. Spaak. He has worked effectively for economic cooperation and solidarity among the nations of Europe. As [Se]cretary General of NATO he has helped build the Western Alliance into one of the strongest forces for Peace. The free world is indebted to him for his leadership. I salute him as a respected friend." In very good to fine condition, with torn binder holes, a few tiny edge tears, and loss to lower left.
