Fantastic Eisenhower Signed Letter Joking: "The enchanting view of the eighteenth green...was almost a serious deterrent to my completion of my 1946 inspection of our Pacific outposts".
General and 34th U.S. President DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER fantastic authentic autograph typewritten letter signed as President of Columbia University, dated June 10, 1949, on OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT letterhead written just four years before his election as the 34th President of the United States.
In this warm letter to Mrs. Ruth Eaton Purdy, Eisenhower fondly recalls a luncheon in Oahu, HI and offers a charming anecdote about the “enchanting view of the eighteenth green” remarking that it was “almost a serious deterrent” to completing his Pacific inspection in 1946. This lighthearted golfing reflection captures Eisenhower’s well-documented passion for the game, which would follow him to the White House where he installed a putting green on the South Lawn and famously logged over 800 rounds during his presidency.
Dear Mrs. Purdy:
Your thoughtfulness in transmitting your brother-in-law’s aloha is deeply appreciated. When next you write, please assure him that the delightful luncheon he and his associates provided at Oahu and the remarkable gardenia lei which they later air mailed to Mrs. Eisenhower in Washington are recollections that remain with us through the years. Additionally, the enchanting view of the eighteenth green from my place at the luncheon table was almost a serious deterrent to the completion of my 1946 inspection of our Pacific outposts.
Again, I am grateful for your considerate letter.
Sincerely,
Dwight D. Eisenhower
