Dwight Eisenhower WWII ALS to His Wife re Movie Offer
Dwight D. Eisenhower autograph letter signed from WWII, dated 13 June (likely 1945). He writes to his wife Mamie, in part: ''My darling...I can understand your feelings about the Hollywood offer (assuming it is genuine) but my own convictions as to the quality of a man that will make money out of a public position of trust are very strong! I couldn't touch it - and would never allow such a thing to occur! We don't need it anyway - it's fun to be poor! But I'd like to see Miltons school get a good endowment - & if all my stipulations can be met - I'd have no objections. Oh well; that all seems so unimportant now...Loads of love...again - I love you / always / Ike''. Single page letter on ruled stationery measures 8'' x 10.5''. Toning and creasing, else near fine. With Beckett COA.
