Eisenhower" letterhead the Republican presidential candidate discusses Chicago police officer Louis E.

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

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
