General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in World War II, Sends a Copy of His Sleeve Patch in 1945

Description
30/10/1945. During World War II, Ike received requests for him to send one of his sleeve patches as a souvenir. He never seems to have had one on hand, but instead sent a printed color facsimile patch, with a description of its meaning below the image, and which he signed above the description. The description makes clear that the sword on the insignia “represents avenging justice by which the enemy power will be broken in Nazi-dominated Europe”. The black background represents Nazi oppression, and the rainbow above is emblematic of hope.Miss Martha Wiedermann was one of those who wrote asking for a patch. Eisenhower responded by sending her this printed color facsimile patch, signed above the description. The envelope is still present, postmarked October 30, 1945, just after hostilities ceased. Affixed to a light board.This is just the second Eisenhower sleeve patch we have carried in all these years. The other Ike had sent to his brother.

"The Japanese manga artist Yuichi Yokoyama's latest work, Travel, is a wordless journey into the contemporary Japanese psyche. It takes the not unfamiliar plot backdrop of a train ride and turns it into a psychological meditation on the vehicle's architecture and passengers (rather than focusing on the usual narrative-driven concerns such as destination, distance or landscape)." 1349618.

Description
No Binding. Very Good. quarto, one page, formerly folded, in very good, clean and legible condition. Bache, while traveling writes his father, summing up his opinions of Millard Fillmore's Washington: "My Dear Father, Supposing that a word from me will be expected. I will write these few lines. Our visit here has been reasonably pleasant and satisfactory. . To day we visit Mt. Vernon having delayed the view till now on a/c of the weather. I will not attempt to write my observations on "the Lions" at Washington - only to say "some ain't Lions" they being "apes." ." If the writer visited the United States Senat that week, he might have caught a glimpse of Henry Clay, Jefferson Davis, Stephen Douglas, Hannibal Hamlin, Lewis Cass, Salmon Chase, William Seward and Charles Sumner. Then again, he might have seen some of the other forty Senators who, in animal simile, were far from majestic lords of the political jungle.
