EISENHOWER, Dwight. Autograph note signed ("D.") to Kay Summersby, n.d. 1 page, oblong, in pencil.
A WARM, PRIVATE NOTE TO "IRISH," KAY SUMMERSBY
Eisenhower writes this playful note to his secretary and intimate companion: "Irish - How about lunch, tea & Dinner today? If yes: who do you want, if any? At which time? D. How are you?" The exact nature of their relationship has remained the subject of speculation and controversy for many years (see lot 203). Circumstantial evidence of an affair between Ike and Kay has been persistent. To Mamie's consternation Ike twice called her "Kay" during a tense furlough home during the war. And Summersby joined Eisenhower, Bradley and some of the SHAEF female staffers on a get-away holiday after V-E Day. When Summersby published her 1948 memoir, Eisenhower Was My Boss, she made no mention of an intimate connection. Only near the end of her life, in a more sensational memoir, Past Forgetting: My Love Affair with Dwight D. Eisenhower (1975), did she allude to an affair.
