Two sheets of letterhead measuring 7 by 10-1/2 inches. $2200.Delightfully conversational typed letter from Dwight D. Eisenhower to his friend Harry Anholt the long-time manager of DenverÕs Brown Palace Hotel regarding golf back maladies and the weather boldly initialed by Eisenhower.The letter typed on EisenhowerÕs personal stationery and addressed to ÒMr. Anholt Biltmore Hotel 43rd and Madison New York New York 10017Ó reads: ÒJuly 13 1965. Dear Harry: Some days ago through Arline and Mamie I learned that you experienced some back trouble that sent you to the hospital. Because I am uncertain at this moment as to your location I think I had better send this note to you at the Biltmore Hotel and ask that it be forwarded. I rather suspect that the difficulty you are now having is somewhat similar to the one I experienced about two years ago in California. One day in the middle of a golf game my back began to hurt and got worse as the game progressed. That afternoon I lay down to take a rest and found to my chagrin that I could not get up. I had quite a time and there was brought in for my use a special bed that had electric gadgets which could raise me up to a sitting position or raise both back and knees when I wanted to read. It at least helped me to get in and out of bed and no longer did I have to have Moaney in to help. The pain was really severe when he would try and help me get out of bed. The upshot was that I missed almost four weeks of golf-eight days of which were spent in bed! According to Mamie Arline said the doctors are just making up their minds whether or not to operate; indicating that your case is much more severe than mine because at least none of my doctors suggested any cutting. Of course it is always irksome to lie in bed but I imagine what bothers you most is the impossibility to get on the golf course and keep up with your work in the office. At least that was what I found bothered me. On the other side of the coin I am lazy and something of a loafer-a tendency that helps be whenever the doctors pin me in bed. After a long dry spell our section had one good rain here but we were so dry that in spite of the fact that the rain came just last week end we need some more right now. I read that New York likewise had a good rain but I doubt that it was enough to alleviate the terrible water shortage that seems to be plaguing New York City. Next Monday Mamie and I are taking off by train to northern Wisconsin where we expect to stay about a week or ten days. Both of us send our very best wishes for your quick and complete recovery and of course are sic affectionate regard to you both As ever signed D.E.Ó ÒMoaneyÓ mentioned in the letter is Sergeant John A. Moaney Jr. who was EisenhowerÕs personal aide from 1942 to 1969 and who served as a pallbearer at his funeral. With original envelope bearing Eisenhower Presidential franking stamp. Staple holes small stain on envelope. Fine condition. unknown

Dwight Eisenhower & Civil RightsABAA

Civil Rights George M. Johnson and President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the White House 1959

1959réf. 174141959. George M. Johnson White House press photograph 1959 documents President Dwight D. Eisenhower receiving African American attorney and legal educator George M. Johnson and his wife Evelyn during Johnson's selection for the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Johnson a professor of law and former dean of Howard University School of Law was nominated to the Commission in 1959 with a Senate Judiciary subcommittee holding a hearing on his nomination on April 21. Congress had created the Commission under the Civil Rights Act of 1957 the first federal civil rights legislation enacted since Reconstruction giving the federal government a new body for investigating voting rights discrimination and studying the legal status of civil rights protections. The June 1959 image places Johnson inside the White House during this early federal effort to investigate racial discrimination through a permanent national commission. Original Associated Press silver gelatin press photograph dated June 9 1959 9 x 7 inches. President Eisenhower shakes hands with Evelyn Johnson as George M. Johnson stands beside them in the White House; the three face the camera during the greeting. An AP caption appears along the right margin with an inscription on the verso. Johnson's appointment placed an African American legal scholar with experience at Howard University within the six member federal commission created two years earlier; the Commission's work during this period included investigations and reports concerning voting education housing and other areas of racial discrimination. The photograph dates from the period between Johnson's April 1959 nomination hearing and his subsequent Senate confirmation preserving the ceremonial White House dimension of a federal civil rights appointment during Eisenhower's second administration. Rather than a general presidential publicity image it identifies Johnson at the executive center of the government as the Civil Rights Commission was beginning its investigations into federally protected rights. A 2 x 1 inch area of white correction material appears adjacent to George Johnson's face; AP caption at right margin and verso inscription remain present. Overall very good condition. unknown books

President Dwight Eisenhower Thanks Leader Of National Council Of Churches During The Hungary And Suez Canal Crises: You May Be Certain That The United States Government Will Continue Its Efforts Within The United Nations And In Its Relations With Other Governments To Further The Deep Desire Of The American People That Conditions Of True And Lasting Peace Be Established In The World

réf. 5932DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER 1890-1969. The Thirty-Fourth President Eisenhower was an Allied commander in World War II and ordered the Normandy invasion. He was elected President in 1952 for two terms.TLS. 1 pg. 8 x 10. November 30 1956. The White House Washington. A typed letter signed by Dwight D Eisenhower to Reverend Eugene Carson Blake D.D.: Thank you very much for the telegram you sent recently on behalf of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Your comments on the policy of the United States Government in the Hungarian and Near East crises with particular reference to the handling of these issues in the United Nations were heartening ones. These two grave situations have represented an urgent opportunity for the United Nations to marshal the strength of universal moral forces on behalf of the rule of international law and justice. Action taken in the United Nations has eloquently revealed the deep-seated longing among the nations for an establishment and maintenance of peace and the universal desire that the independence and integrity of nations be maintained and respected. In the forum of the United Nations we must press our search for solutions of these and other problems which confront the community of nations. I am most appreciative of the role of the churches in support of the United Nations and on behalf of those who suffer and are in want as a result of international calamities. You may be certain that the United States Government will continue its efforts within the United Nations and in its relations with other Governments to further the deep desire of the American people that conditions of true and lasting peace be established in the world. President Eisenhower sent this letter to Eugene Blake the leader of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Blake was a prominent Presbyterian leader who served as President from 1954-1957 and later was a participant in the March on Washington. The NCC is an interdenominational partnership of Christian faith groups in the United States that often spoke forcefully about promoting peace in U.S. foreign policy. The two crises that Eisenhower refers to both in 1956 were the Hungarian Revolution which saw the Soviet Union violently invade and suppress Hungarys new reformist government and the Suez Canal Crisis which saw Great Britain France and Israel launch a joint operation to retake the Suez Canal after Egypts Nasser nationalized it. The actions by Eisenhower and the United Nations in resolving both crises were supported by many like Blake but also criticized by many in the U.S. and around the world. This was especially true as Eisenhower and the United Nations sat back while the Soviet Union killed over 6000 Hungarian soldiers and civilians and displaced over 200000 which was seen as hypocritical given American action in Korea and Vietnam. Regardless this letter is an important reminder about the influence the NCC had as a Christian advocacy body and Eisenhowers role as the leader of the internationalist and institutionalist wing of the Republican Party in the decade after World War II. unknown books
