In full: “I have been deeply touched by the thousands of messages from friends who, like yourself, have loyally supported my efforts to serve the nation, have given me so much friendship, and who have been moved by a personal warmth of understanding to send me a cheering word of greeting. I am indeed grateful for it….” A touch of light scattered soiling and handling wear, otherwise fine condition. JSA/John Reznikoff Auction LOA and RRAuction COA.
