Dwight D. Eisenhower autograph letter signed as Supreme Commander of NATO. Less than 2 years before his election to the Presidency, he writes to his wife, Mamie, on 11 January [1951] on Hotel D'Angleterre, Copenhagen stationery. It reads: ''My love - Before I start, this morning, the endless round of calls, conferences and lunches, I have a few minutes to tell you of my travels since I left you last Saturday. (This is Friday.) We reached Paris without meeting a single rough spot in the sky - to avoid being ahead of time we had to fly around France almost an hour. We remained in that city from Sun. morning until Tues. afternoon, going at a hectic pace. Then we went to Brussells [sic], The Hague, and Copenhagen on one night stands. We shall leave here (weather permitting) right after lunch, landing at Oslo, Norway, about 4:00 p.m. The next day to London, from where I hope to talk to you on the phone...There are letters to write, thank you cards to send, arrangements for a dozen visits each day, trips to and from airports, etc etc. So no one seems to be idle...Our search for a location near Paris for hqs and home was not too successful, but it was very brief. We are still hopeful. There are some noisy communists in every capital - I sometimes wonder whether they know what they're trying to do to themselves!...Always your / Ike''. With original mailing envelope filled out in Ike's hand, addressed to ''Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower'' and postmarked 12 January 1951. 4pp. letter on card-style stationery measures 5.75'' x 8.75''. Creasing, else near fine.
