Typed Letter Signed: "Robert L. Schulz" in black ink. 6¼x7¾. Dated October 8, 1948. Letterhead from the Office of General Eisenhower. In Full: "General Eisenhower asked me to thank you for sending him your note from Mrs. Montgomery, and I am returning it safely to you herewith. You were most thoughtful to write the General as you did, and he is deeply appreciative of your greeting. He wanted me to extend his best wishes to you". Brigadier General Robert L. Schulz (1907-1984)was appointed to be the Aide-de-Camp to General Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1947. At that time, Eisenhower was the Chief of Staff and General of the Army. An Aide-de-camp (translated from French into "helper in the camp) is an individual who acts as a personal assistant. Because of Eisenhower's status as a five-star General, he was allowed to retain Schulz even after he retired from the United States Army. Schulz followed Eisenhower for the rest of the General's life, serving as an aide while he was President of Columbia University, President of the United States, and even in his last years after his tenure of Commander-in-Chief ended. After Eisenhower's death, Schulz was appointed Special Assistant to the President for Liaison with Former Presidents in 1969. Mailing creases. Evenly toned and worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
