ref. 4778As President Eisenhower drew our pencil sketch which was part of a group of four pencil sketches three on White House "Agenda" stationery. The President dated this sketch "Mar 11 57." Since the three other sketches in the original group of four were drawn during scheduled White House meetings is it possible that this sketch was also drawn at the White House but not during a scheduled meeting as suggested by the informal paper Ike uses The President had a busy morning of meetings and an evening reception at the Senate Office Building but according to his daily schedule he had an open afternoon. Like two of the other drawings in the group of four this sketch may also be golf related. The sketch is rendered in pencil on a 5 1/2 x 5 3/4 inch page perforated at center. unknown books
