EISENHOWER, Dwight D. Draft typed letter signed ("D.") TO PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN, Hotel Commodore, New York, 13 September 1952. 1 page, 4to, personal stationery AUTOGRAPH CORRECTIONS AND EMENDATIONS IN EISENHOWER'S HAND. EISENHOWER THANKS TRUMAN DURING THE 1952 CAMPAIGN for a gift of Truman's limited edition book, Mr. President , which Truman "graciously" inscribed to Eisenhower. In New York for his own Presidential campaign, Eisenhower pleads lack of time to properly read the "beautifully composed" book, but nevertheless calls it "a valued addition to my personal library." Beneath the cordial tone of this exchange, there would be no love lost between the two men by the end of the 1952 campaign, and Eisenhower ended 20 years of Democratic Party control of the White House. Often forgotten today is the unpopularity of Truman by the end of his term, mainly because of the public's war-weariness over the bloody stalemate in Korea. The GOP campaign that year reduced its message to the succinct short-hand phrase "KC 2 ": for Korea, Communism and Corruption. While continuing to be outwardly cordial to one another, both men spoke bitterly and disparaging of each other in private. A fine association of the two most important postwar Presidents.
