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."

The general arrived here early this morning after ending the campaign with a speech in Boston last night. Ike's wife Mamie who accompanied the general throughout his whistle-stopping tour of the nation smiles as she awaits her turn." A superb and unusual letter with an exceptional photograph. unknown

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 Denvers Brown Palace Hotel regarding golf back maladies and the weather boldly initialed by Eisenhower.The letter typed on Eisenhowers personal stationery and addressed to Mr. Anholt Biltmore Hotel 43rd and Madison New York New York 10017 reads: July 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. Moaney mentioned in the letter is Sergeant John A. Moaney Jr. who was Eisenhowers 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
