Description

In dealing with the fallout from ‘Bloody Thursday’: “It’s true that I’m swamped more so now than ever with the Berekely situation”

TLS signed “Ron,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, State of California letterhead, June 12, 1969. Letter to J. F. Regis Toomey. In part: “One isn’t safe from photographers at a ball game! I wish instead, you had come over and said hello. It sure was nice hearing from you. While it’s true that I’m swamped more so now than ever with the Berkeley situation, it’s letters like yours that give me the boost in morale I need at times.” At the bottom, Reagan adds a short postscript which reads, “P.S. John Kehoe is in my office here so the address is the same.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. On May 15, 1969, Reagan sent the California Highway Patrol to quell protests at UC Berkeley in an incident that came to be known as ‘Bloody Thursday.’ He then had 2200 National Guard troops occupy the city of Berkeley for an additional two weeks to maintain order. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
