Writing his friend and strong Republican supporter Russell B. Stearns, president of National Food Products, he warmly explains that "A good friend of the National Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon has made available to me a number of copies of a special medallion. Because of your association with that organization, it occurred to me that you might like to have one...I hope the medallion will serve as a suitable keepsake of the 1956 political campaign..." With original typewritten envelope. Very light offsetting from envelope, otherwise VG/F. Just a month earlier, Eisenhower and VP Richard Nixon were re-elected in an electoral landslide.
