Significant Dwight Eisenhower Letter

to Architect of Mamie's Cabin

          This is an Historically significant letter from President Dwight Eisenhower to the man who designed Mamie's Cabin at Augusta National Golf Club.

          Eisenhower penned this letter on White House stationary immediately upon return to Washington after his first-ever stay in Mamie's Cabin. Mamie's Cabin (or the Eisenhower Cabin or Ike's Cabin, as it has been sometimes called) was built next to the 10th hole at Augusta National while Eisenhower was President of the United States in 1953. It gave the President a special place to stay during his visit, and even included a basement, which became Secret Service headquarters in Augusta during Ike's visits.

          This letter comes from the personal collection of the late Lowrey Stulb. Stulb cherished his keepsakes from the President, as is evidenced by the exceptional condition of this 61 year old letter. Also, quite amazingly, the letter comes with its original White House envelope as well.

        Here is a great article from the Augusta Chronicle regarding Lowrey Stulb's designing of Mamie's Cabin: http://tinyurl.com/GreenJacketStulb
