Two items: TLS, one page 5.75 x 7.75, Columbia University letterhead, January 13, 1949. Letter to Lt. John Halbin, in part: “After 4 1/2 years, it is certainly good to hear from a companion on that memorable ride in the driving rain. I shall never forget the ability of your comrades and you to squeeze into the smallest possible space and the capacity of the jeep to act as a substitute for a 2 1/2 ton truck.…I am enclosing a notehead which I have inscribed to you for insertion…in your copy of Crusade in Europe.” In addition, the aforementioned inscription, is included and signed “Dwight D. Eisenhower,” 3.75 x 4.5, personal letterhead, dated January 1949. In full: “For Lt. John T. Halbin—With renewed expressions of my gratitude to one of the soldiers who gave me a ride in a jeep when I needed it badly. Best wishes and regards.” In fine condition, with some scattered mild toning to both. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. An interesting offering from the date of the letter as well as the content, Eisenhower is recollecting an encounter from right around D-Day, as the allies began their invasion of France.
