Description

A presidential birthday wish for the Attorney General

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, January 17, 1966. Letter to Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, in full: "Birthdays have a way of reminding us that time knows no roadblocks, and hurdles everything. But birthdays also tell us to pause, and rejoice; that a good friend, loyal public servant, dedicated and devoted to righting human wrongs and enlarging human rights, the 75th man in all the history of our country to hold the office of Attorney General of the United States—today becomes 44 years old. If history intends to judge my estimate of Nick Katzenbach by what I say now then let it be recorded this Nation and this place in history, Nick Katzenbach is the chief lawyer for all the people." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
