MAMIE DOUD EISENHOWER
The recently widowed former First Lady sends thanks for a
Presbyterian church history.
Typed Letter Signed: "Mamie Doud Eisenhower", 1p, 6¼x5½
attached to 8½x8¾ piece of paper (two surfaces). Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,
1969 October 13. To Dr. Schmidt. In full: "Thank you so very much
for the historical booklet which sketches the life of the congregation of the
Presbyterian Church. It was most thoughtful of you to send it to me, and I
noticed that my beloved Uncle Joel Carlson is mentioned in it. With my warm
regard," 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. This letter was written seven
months after Ike's death. Fold crease through signature. Fine
condition.
