Two items: a color matte-finish 9.5 x 7.5 photo of the President and the first lady greeting friends, signed and inscribed in black ink, “For Earl Collins—‘as we were years ago,’ All best wishes, Lady Bird Johnson”; and a TLS as first lady, one page, 6.25 x 9.5, White House letterhead, January 12, 1968. Letter to Mrs. Aymar Johnson, in full: “The President was deeply appreciative of your kind message. In these times, words of confidence from friends all over the country mean a great deal to us. I assure you that the President’s appeal for spiritual guidance is very often in his mind and on his heart, even if it doesn’t always find its way into print—although I feel you will find it is often publicly stated, from that very first day in November, 1963, to the rending hours of today. I was disappointed to miss the Prayer Breakfast this year. I always look forward to this inspirational gathering, but at the last moment I found it impossible to be in Washington—the first I’ve missed in years.” In overall very good condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
