Description

Carter thanks Paul Newman for a donation to the Carter Center from "Newman's Own"

ALS, one page, 6.25 x 8.5, personal letterhead, September 3, 1996. Handwritten letter to actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, in full: "Rosalynn and I really appreciate the fine gift we received for the Carter Center from Newman's Own Fund. This will help us with our efforts, & it strengthens us to realize that you & Joanne are partners." In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, bearing a pre-printed free frank.

A unique autograph letter connecting two 'power couples' with their post-fame charities: in 1982, after leaving the White House, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter founded the Carter Center, a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering. Newman's Own, also founded in 1982, is a mission-driven food-and-drink manufacturer, which donates all of its after-tax profits to charity through Newman's Own Foundation.
