Description

President Ford gears up for the final push in his failed re-election campaign

TLS as president signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, September 9, 1976. Letter to friend Sy Halpern. In full: “Your warm, affirmative letter and enthusiastic offer to campaign for me are greatly appreciated. The issues are certainly on our side and I am confident that, with the help of my friends and supporters like you, the voters will give us a mandate to continue the job we commenced. Again, many thanks for your offer of assistance, which I have relayed to my campaign staff.” Some scattered light creases and wrinkles, and some light spots to left edge, otherwise fine condition. Two months later, saddled with a slow economy and paying a price for issuing Richard Nixon a presidential pardon, Ford would lose the election to the relatively unknown Jimmy Carter. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
