ALS signed “Dutch,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, December 7. Letter to his longtime friend Lydia “Hup” MacArthur. In full: “I don’t believe it but another year has gone by. In view of the circumstances though I’d better be looking at the one ahead instead of the one just past. I’m not sure just how I arrived at where we are but Pete must be having a good laugh. It really seems only yesterday that he was offering me $5 & bus fare to broadcast the Iowa-Minn. game. Well he can enjoy the laugh because he played a big part in all that has been good in my life. Have a Merry Christmas Hup dear and a wonderful New Year.” In fine condition, with a few small creases. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Reagan’s hand and postmarked December 8, 1975. Also accompanied by photocopies of a UPI article Pres. Reagan wrote, a page from TIME magazine’s January 5, 1981, Reagan Man of the Year issue mentioning Peter MacArthur, and a 1982 article about Hup MacArthur. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
