President Dwight D. Eisenhower Rare Signed & Handwritten WWII Dated Letter (Beckett/BAS Guaranteed)

Highly desirable World War II–era hand written & signed 5" x 7.25" letter by Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force letterhead, no date. Letter to a friend, in part: “I’ve tried several times to ’phone to you—but always there seems to be trouble on the line. Maybe I’m just impatient. Anyway, thank you for your very nice note, it was kind of you to write it, while the language of your appreciation is far too generous! Just when the ‘party’ will start home I do not know. Early next week is my guess. I’m terribly busy, the more so that my chief helper, here, is gone. Since returning from Normandy, day before yesterday, I’ve been trying to ‘catch up’—not very successfully.” Beautifully matted with the original mailing envelope, initialed “D. E.” on the flap, to an overall size of 11.25" x 18.75". Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear to the edges. It's worth noting handwritten material in any format is scarce from Eisenhower, especially during the War to end all Wars, WWII.
