TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, February 7, 1968. Letter to Marg McNamara whose husband, Robert McNamara, will be leaving his Cabinet at the end of the month to become President of the World Bank. In part: “I must also thank you for your beautiful letter of awhile back. It was a comfort to Lady Bird and me. We both felt so bleak through this business of separation. You know that if I were to wait for a ‘convenient time’ to part with Bob, it would be about 24 hours before I leave office myself. I have never admired or enjoyed anyone more than your husband. As for the days ahead, they are bright with the promise of a line from your own letter. Though our lives will change, you wrote, we will not. Lady Bird and I will never change our feelings for both of you. They are lasting in admiration and gratitude.” In fine condition, with some trivial rippling along top. Letter originates from the Estate of Robert S. McNamara. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
