Very rare ALS as president, one page both sides, 6.25 x 4.25, Presidential letterhead, January 24, 2005. Letter, written just four days after his second inauguration, to Sharon Bush, ex-wife of his brother Neil, whom she divorced in 2003. In full, “Thank you for your congratulatory note. You were kind to host the election party. Your kids are great. Pierce is doing very well at G-town and Lauren & Ashley are smart, beautiful girls. I know you are proud of your children.” Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Sharon Bush. In very fine condition. Our current president has never been known as a prolific, nor particularly eloquent, writer, granting the present item, despite its quite recent date, unique status as a five-star rarity.
