Description

Ford nixes the Five Presidents photo

TLS signed “Gerald R. Ford,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, no date. Letter sent out by Ford concerning his signing of a five presidents photo. In part, “I made a commitment with Presidents Reagan, Carter, Bush and Nixon that I would autograph a limited number of prints and no more. I intend to maintain that commitment, so I am returning to you the copy you forwarded to me…The unique photograph taken at the White House in 1981, with Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Ford has become commercialized and cheapened because thousands of copies of the photo have been autographed by the four of us. If at all possible, I will not permit the mistake to be repeated.” In fine condition, with small crease and ding to top right corner. R&R COA.
