34th President. Autograph letter signed “Always your / Ike”, addressed to his wife Mamie as “Darling:” May 1 [1945], in full:
This morning a teletype came from you. Also a note (about 10 lines) from Johnny. He doesn’t waste a lot of time writing to anyone, I suppose.
This must be a short note. The head of the Red Cross is waiting to see me - he is soon to go home. I’ll write again as soon as I can - perhaps this evening. Loads of love.
The paper has even browning / burn from prior matting.
Although no year is written, we can deduce that this letter is from 1945 which would place Eisenhower in Reims. France. It would date to the day after Hitler’s death and the same day Karl Donitz announced himself as head of the German government.
