19602101927/12/1960. <p>“I doubt if you realize just how much you have helped me carry on the official work of government…â€</p><p>In the waning days of 1960 Eisenhower prepared to leave office and hand the presidency to John F. Kennedy. Henry Ford II was a close confidant of Eisenhower’s and during his presidency provided Ike with important assistance. So as he said farewell to the presidency Ike wanted to tender to Ford his heart-felt thank you.</p><p>On three occasions Ford lent one of his senior executives Leo Beebe to the U.S. government to supervise the resettlement of refugees and manage similar projects. Beebe became executive vice chairman of Eisenhower’s Committee for Hungarian Refugees in 1956 a need that resulted from the Hungarian Revolution and subsequent flight from the country of many refugees. In addition to his committee work during 1956-1957 while working out of Camp Kilmer in northern New Jersey Beebe oversaw the relocation and resettlement of 35000 Hungarian refugees in the United States eventually finding them permanent residences in this country. In 1959-1960 Beebe organized the U.S. Center for Cuban Refugees in Miami Florida to help with the mass influx of Cuban refugees that fled Castro’s Cuba in 1960 and beyond. Ford backed the refugee aid effort all the way and it was of incalculable importance.</p><p>In 1960 Robert McNamara was President of the Ford Motor Company. Kennedy the President-elect sought to name McNamara Secretary of Defense. Ford agreed to spare McNamara yet another example of his largess.</p><p>Ford Motor Co. required its top executives to use private aircraft for business and personal travel. We see in this letter that he also served Eisenhower by providing private jet transportation to and from meetings.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House letterhead Washington December 27 1960 to Henry Ford II. <em>“As the end of my Administration approaches I want once again to express to you and through you to your associates the appreciation I personally feel and which is shared by the members of the White House staff who normally travel with me of the many courtesies that have been extended to us not only during 1960 but through all the years here. I doubt if you realize just how much you have helped me carry on the official work of government by making transportation available to the key personnel who must be with me but are necessarily scattered during any one of the so-called ‘work-vacation’ trips I have taken. I assure you however that without your cooperation it would have been exceedingly difficult for me to carry out my responsibilities and still get some periods of relaxation. I shall be lastingly grateful to you and your officials in the various places we have visited with some regularity and at some length.</em></p><p><em>“On a totally different subject I might add that I hear good reports of Mr. McNamara. I am certain his departure for Washington puts additional burdens on you but as always you are a good citizen.</em></p><p><em>“With best wishes to you and your charming family for a fine 1961 and warm personal regard Sincerely Dwight D. Eisenhower.â€</em></p><p>This letter is the first valedictory of Eisenhower’s we can recall seeing and it remained in the Ford family until 2020. It has never before been offered for sale.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown
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
14013045914/01/1953. <blockquote><p>“Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our follow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help.â€</p></blockquote><p>The 1952 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday November 4 1952. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower won a landslide victory over Illinois Democratic Governor Adlai Stevenson becoming the first Republican president in 20 years. This was the first election since 1928 without an incumbent president on the ballot. Eisenhower was re-elected in 1956 in a rematch with Stevenson.</p><p>The 1952 presidential election campaign was conducted against the backdrop of a “red scare†in which many Americans feared that foreign communist agents were attempting to infiltrate the government. Two years earlier Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy who held that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations amounted to “20 years of treason†claimed that he had a list of State Department employees who were loyal only to the Soviet Union. Though McCarthy offered no evidence to support his charges and revealed only a single name he won a large personal following. The Red Scare the stalemated Korean War and a renewal of inflation handicapped Stevenson who fought a vigorous campaign.</p><p>Eisenhower campaigned tirelessly impressing millions with his warmth and sincerity. His wide friendly grin wartime heroics and middle-class pastimes—he was an avid golfer endeared him to the public and garnered him vast support. On the eve of the election there was a general opinion that the presidential race was close. The final tally however was anything but. Eisenhower won by more than six million votes capturing 39 states and 442 electoral votes to Stevenson’s 9 states and 89 electoral votes. The election was considered a great personal triumph for Eisenhower.</p><p>In the wake of the election Eisenhower thanked his major contributors for their financial support which had enabled him to bring his message to the American people.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on his letterhead New York January 14 1953 to Hugh Moore president of the Dixie Cup Company and a supporter of his. <em>“Dear Mr. Moore: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the campaign I wish to add my own.</em></p><p><em>“Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our fellow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help. That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you and to ask for your continued support.â€</em></p><p>It is interesting that Eisenhower saw his election as a crusade and his views as carrying a message.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-25018"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown

195869212Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1958. Presumed first edition/first printing. Second volume in series. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Corners bumped. xxxiv 1220 pages. Includes index. Frontis. List of items The was published by the Federal Register Division National Archives and Records Service General Services Administration. From Wikipedia: "The Public Papers of the Presidents contain the papers and speeches of the Presidents of the United States that were issued by the Office of the Press Secretary. The series constitutes a special edition of the Federal Register. The Public Papers of the Presidents series was begun in 1957 in response to a recommendation of the National Historical Publications Commission. An extensive compilation of messages and papers of the Presidents covering the period 1789 to 1897 was assembled by James D. Richardson and published under congressional authority between 1896 and 1899. Since then various private compilations have been issued but there was no uniform publication comparable to the Congressional Record or the United States Supreme Court Reports. Many Presidential papers could be found only in the form of mimeographed White House releases or as reported in the press. The Commission therefore recommended the establishment of an official series in which Presidential writings addresses and remarks of a public nature could be made available. The Commission s recommendation was incorporated in regulations of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register issued under section 6 of the Federal Register Act 44 U.S.C. 1506 which may be found in title 1 part 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations." The Public Papers series is compiled and published by the Office of the Federal Register National Archives and Records Administration. Each volume generally covers a 6-month period of a given administration and presents content in chronological order with headings providing the dates of the documents or events. In instances when the release date differs from the date of the document itself the date of public release is shown in the textnote. Remarks are checked against an audio recording if available or read aloud against official transcripts if no audio source is available and issued documents are checked against the original with exacting attention paid to preserving the integrity of the signed document. Textnotes and cross references are provided by the editors for purposes of identification or clarity usually of notable people referred to by the President or others participating in an event. Speeches are assumed to have been delivered in Washington DC unless otherwise indicated in the item heading. The times noted are assumed to be local times. All materials printed in full text in the book are indexed in the subject and name indexes and listed in the document categories list. With few exceptions deceased people are not indexed by name. The notes are intended for the general reader and specific criteria govern decisions about inclusion in or exclusion from the note with an eye toward keeping references standardized succinct and useful.

In his speech Eisenhower says that the crisis was provoked by the Soviet Union and that the West must confront Soviet imperialism. "We shall continue to exercise our right of peaceful passage to and from West Berlin" he says. "We will not be the first to breach the peace. It is the Soviets who threaten the use of force to interfere with such free passage. We are ready to participate fully in every sincere effort at negotiation that will respect the existing rights of all and their opportunity to live in peace." Page 10 translated from the French.

1946190508Washington DC: US Government Printing Office 1946. Presented to his "oldest and best friend" a key commander at D-Day First edition presentation copy specially bound for Leonard T. Gerow and inscribed by Eisenhower on the initial blank "To 'Gee' one of the outstanding battle leaders of World War II with the admiration and gratitude of his old friend Ike". Gerow 1888-1972 was in command of the V Corps at Omaha Beach on D-Day and became the first American general to enter Paris after its liberation in 1944. "Gerow was his oldest and best friend in the theater and V Corps headquarters would provide a haven in moments of anxiety more than once" Eisenhower p. 176. The careers of the two men were closely intertwined. "Eisenhower and Gerow were opposites. Gerow trim and meticulous was a chronic worrier. Eisenhower hale and robust had a gregarious and confident manner. But the two men shared similar thinking and tastes and had similar prewar professional reputations as staff officers. In the summer of 1916 Eisenhower and Gerow had first served together in the 19th Regiment based at San Antonio. In 1926 they had been classmates at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff School. They had formed a two-man study group in Eisenhower's tiny attic" Eisenhower pp. 176-7. It was Gerow that introduced Eisenhower to his future wife Mamie. Gerow originally headed the War Plans Division until the role was reassigned to Eisenhower due to Gerow's failure to foresee Pearl Harbour. Eisenhower was gracious to Gerow acknowledging it was only fortune that led to his taking the position; afterwards Eisenhower's career was to inevitably eclipse that of his old friend but Gerow still rose to a highly respected position eventually leading the Fifteenth and Second Armies. The book prints Eisenhower's official report of his role leading the Allied liberation of western Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Eisenhower had copies bound for presentation to close family and military leaders the Eisenhower library have his brother's copy in the same binding; we could trace no other example on the market. Folio. Original black morocco front cover lettered in gilt silk endpapers. Housed in a custom black cloth solander box. With 11 colour maps of European battle theatres.
