TLS 1p 7" X 10¼" n.p. 13 July 1952. Addressed to Martin Kennelly mayor of Chicago. Very good. Couple of staple holes at upper left corner. On imprinted "Office of Dwight D. Eisenhower" letterhead the Republican presidential candidate discusses Chicago police officer Louis E. Swee who "During my stay in Chicago for the Republican National Convention" was "assigned to me by Mr. Redmond Gibbons Chief of Uniformed Police. If administratively possible from the viewpoint of the City of Chicago I should like to have him accompany my staff from the first of August until election day in November" -- a 3-month loaner in effect. He continues: "It is of course imperative that his civil service pension rights and seniority on the Chicago Police Force be protected during his absence. If this is not possible please disregard this request." Eisenhower goes on about Swee's civil service status and assures the mayor that "my office will pay his salary during the period of his absence from usual duty."

1996rif. 147575New York: Farrar Straus and Giroux 1996. First edition of this compelling biography of an army captain's wife who becomes First Lady. Octavo original publisher's half cloth illustrated with black and white photographs. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the second free endpaper "To Madeleine Albright with admiration and deepest appreciation for her friendship - Susan Eisenhower." Additionally signed on the half title page. The recipient Madeleine K. Albright was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001 leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit Albright coined the “3 Ds” of NATO “which is no diminution of NATO no discrimination and no duplication – because I think that we don’t need any of those three “Ds” to happen.” After her tenure as Secretary of State she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. For Albright’s contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Susan Eisenhower is a trustee of the Eisenhower Fellowships which awarded Albright a former trustee the Eisenhower Medal for Leadership and Service posthumously in 2022. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket bookplate of Madeleine Albright. Jacket design by Michael Ian Kaye. "Mrs. Ike is full of surprises and new documents and it gives us a much fuller and fresher portrait of both Ike and Mamie than we have had before. Susan Eisenhower writes with sensitivity and insight about her grandmother and brings Mamie to life with fine vignettes and anecdotes. I am lost in admiration for both the subject and her granddaughter-biographer and I recommend Mrs. Ike without reservation" Stephen E. Ambrose. Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover
