Description

“We would like to have been there but our travels and chores had us elsewhere”

ALS signed “Dutch,” one page, 6.5 x 4.25, personal letterhead, April 2, 1991. Letter to his longtime friend Lydia ‘Hup’ MacArthur. In part: “Thank you for sending the news story. Nancy & I both enjoyed it very much. Yes we would like to have been there but our travels and chores had us elsewhere.” In fine condition, with a couple of small moisture spots to right side, affecting a single letter of text. Lydia Hupfer ‘Hup’ MacArthur was the widow of Pete MacArthur, program director of WOC in Davenport, Iowa. During the time of this letter, Reagan was being largely credited with the accomplishment of ending the Cold War, one of the notable accomplishments attributed to his second term in office.
