TLS signed in blue felt tip “Jerry Ford, 40th Vice President, 1973–74,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Vice President letterhead, no date. A preprinted GOP fundraising letter originally signed by Ford in facsimile and later signed by hand. In part: “Since January 20, 1969, President Nixon has had to work with a Congress controlled by the Democratic Party. The lesson learned from the past five years is that if the President is to enact a Republican program for the Nation, we must elect a Republican Congress in November. And, we can this year with an all-out effort by you and by me. The record of the Nixon administration is one of which all Americans can be proud. The terrible conflict in Southeast Asia has been terminated, the mid-East crisis has been stabilized, unemployment is down,, and strong measures are being taken to ease the energy problem which the President predicted in 1971…. If you will send your check to the [National Republican Congressional] Committee today, you can be sure your money will count towards returning our country to sound fiscal government next Fall. And please … won’t you make out the check for as much as you can?” A few tiny marginal spots, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
