“We are not about to write off the ‘black vote,’” affirms the vice president to Pearl Bailey

TLS, one page, 7 x 9, The Vice President letterhead, May 31, 1983. Letter to actress/singer Pearl Bailey Bellson, in full: “I just wanted you to know that I read your telegram to which was attached the Juan Williams article from The Washington Post. We are not about to write off the ‘black vote.’ We need to do more. We need to be more sensitive, and if there ever was a person who cares deeply, it is our President. You know that, but it is important that the rest of the country know it too. I will do my level best to help them understand. Thank you for caring.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
