ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 5, 1983. Letter to the widow of journalist Roscoe Drummond, in full: "It was with a deep sense of personal loss that I read of Roscoe’s passing. I first met him in 1947 when I was a freshman Congressman. Through the years thereafter he covered my activities in a manner that was outstanding in every respect. He was always fair, always honest, and always accurate. In addition, he was one whose counsel on major issues I found invaluable. A true gentleman, he set a standard for political commentary which should be an inspirational example for journalists in the future." Matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 14.75. In fine condition. During his career, Drummond was syndicated columnist for 'State of the Nation' in the L.A. Times, the director of information for the Marshall Plan, and executive editor of the Christian Science Monitor.
