"You remain a very important & beloved part of our life"—Reagan writes to his former press secretary

ALS signed “Ron,” one page, 6.5 x 8.5, personal letterhead, November 1, 1989. Handwritten letter to Nancy Clark Reynolds, his former press secretary and special assistant, in full: “Thank you for the book — I’d heard about it in Japan but never saw it there. And thank you for the Joke — I’m already a smash with it. Bless you. Now about my hair! I can’t get over it. Every place I go & almost everyone I meet — especially you gals tell me to have it short that I look much younger this way. Now that’s tempting — do I or don’t I. I must say there is an advantage in the mornings — not having anything to comb. But Nancy it’s always good to hear from you. You remain a very important & beloved part of our life. Nancy — that’s my Nancy — sends her love. So do I.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original hand-addressed envelope, which bears Reagan’s printed franking signature.

After years of working in the media, Reynolds (1927–2022) moved to San Francisco, California, and eventually joined the staff of Governor Reagan. She worked as an assistant press secretary and then as a special assistant for Reagan. She worked for six months in 1980 on Reagan's White House transition team and, a year later, President Reagan named her the U.S. representative to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
