The letter from 1954 reads, “I apologize that I have not long before this acknowledged your birthday telegram. I haven’t been able to find a moment for myself since my return from Denver. Nonetheless, please know that I did receive it and am most appreciative of your thought of me.” All three are accompanied by their original mailing envelopes. Also included are 26 letters and cards from Mamie Doud Eisenhower, both ALSs and TLSs, as well as several greeting cards, many written from the White House. As well as two FDCs honoring Dwight Eisenhower, both signed by Mamie and two White House cards, each also signed by Mamie.

An interesting collection from inside the White House.
