^Lot 40 Dwight D. Eisenhower

TLS, one page, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead, June 3, 1967. Letter to Joan Crawford. In part: “I hope you will accept my apology for the delay in thanking you for your very great courtesy in meeting my party and me at the Camelot Theatre in Palm Springs. All the others in our party assumed you were going to sit with us and it was only I, the last one to take a seat, who realized that you had other things to do and had a chance to thank you. When we came across the country by train I started to write to you but reaching here I was almost immediately stricken with a painful illness and spent almost two weeks in the hospital.” In fine condition. The letter is stapled to the original mailing envelope, and a carbon of Crawford’s reply to Eisenhower. In fine condition, with staple and caption to top left and a small spot of soiling to top edge.
