TLS signed “Sarah T. Hughes,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States District Court letterhead, December 30, 1964. Letter to Joseph Fricelli. In part: “With regard to the swearing-in of President Johnson, after I had heard that Kennedy had been assassinated I went home, because there did not seem to be anything to do at the courthouse. I was called by my office and was told that Mr. Johnson was on the other line asking if I could come out to the airport to the presidential plane and swear him in. I drove my car to the air field which took about ten minutes from my home. When I arrived, I was handed a Bible and the oath and the swearing-in took place. After it was over, the President said, ‘Let’s get air borne,’ and I got off the plane.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. An uncommon perspective from the first woman to swear in a president. RR Auction COA.
