Eisenhower, Dwight D.
Typed Letter Signed. One page, Quarto, on personal imprinted letterhead, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, May 27, 1963. Interesting letter to James T. Handley mentioning George Washington and Robert E. Lee. Eisenhower writes:

"Dear Mr. Handley: I am most appreciative of your generous gift of the pictures of General Lee and of Martha and George Washington. As my secretary wrote to you, they will be sent to the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene inasmuch as we have no proper facilities here for such items. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your courtesy. I am, of course, happy to have these two heirlooms from the Handley Family of Missouri. With best wishes, Sincerely, Dwight Eisenhower."

Fine.
