take care of ourselves- snow here today- strange for the 'Sunny South'- Uncle
Jeff has come home- Anne Fernando and my great grandchild Adrianne have been
here and gone-am taking a thru day bed rest- I'll see you some time down here-
much love to you and Lewis-" LEWIS L. STRAUSS served as Chairman of
the Atomic Energy Commission (1953-1958) and Eisenhower's Secretary of Commerce
(1958-1959, not confirmed by the Senate). Alice and Lewis Strauss were married
from 1923 until his death in 1974. Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower lived
in 33 homes during 53 years of married life. Their Gettysburg farm was
the only home they ever owned together. It was not publicly known that Mrs.
Eisenhower suffered from Mèniere's disease, an inner ear infection that affected
her balance, causing rumors of alcoholism. After leaving the White House in
1961, she continued her custom of having a masseuse three times a week, going to
Elizabeth Arden and having card parties. During her husband's final illness,
Mamie moved into Walter Reed Army Hospital to be with him. Staple holes at
upper left corner. Fine condition.
