TLS as president, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, White House letterhead, September 23, 1960. Ike writes Peggy Wood, president of the American National Theatre and Academy in New York City. In part: “At the last meeting of the National Cultural Center Board of Trustees, the Trustees voted to invite major National organizations concerned with the performing arts to participate in the national Cultural Center project. The Board also requested me to ask each organization to nominate a representative to sit as a member ex-officio of the Advisory Committee on the Arts to the National Cultural Center. I have been informed that your organization is willing to participate in the work of the Advisory Committee and this is indeed gratifying to me.” In fine condition, with faint handling wear and a horizontal mailing fold crossing his signature. Following JFK’s death, Congress renamed the site in Kennedy’s honor and authorized federal participation in construction of the facility, which opened in 1971. Great association between the Eisenhower administration and the arts.
