Description

Very rare handwritten LBJ correspondence

Rare ANS, on an embossed 3.75 x 4.75 bookplate, no date. Short note to Jim Chambers, publisher of the Dallas Times Herald, which had won its only Pulitzer Prize in 1964 for the photograph of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. In full: “To Dee and Jim Chambers dear friends throughout all the years. With love always Lyndon B. Johnson.” In fine condition, with light vertical line down left side, inherent to the bookplate, through a single letter of signature. Accompanied by a 1972 TLS from Johnson’s secretary, forwarding the bookplate to Chambers’s secretary, as well as the original mailing envelope, and an engraved visiting card, with “Merry Christmas” written at the top in an unknown hand. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
