TLS as president signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, July 10, 1975. Letter to the Hon. Robert LeBaron, in full: "The beautiful White House swimming pool is open and is a wonderful addition to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Betty and I thank you and 460 others who were so generous and so thoughtful. You and the others have made it all possible. The pool is fully operational and the dressing room is under construction and will be completed within the next several weeks. All of the construction and landscaping is being done with the full cooperation of the White House Preservation Commission. Later this year a cover may be added to make possible full use on a 12 month a year basis. I am certain that all citizens are grateful for your contribution to a finer White House. Swimming is a superior exercise for good health and a swimming pool is a fine facility for family fun and friends. You can rest assured our family, the White House staff and I are most grateful. Obviously, it will be well used, enjoyed and appreciated by many others in the years ahead. Again, thank you." In fine condition, with faint toning to the and bottom edges.
