TLS as President, White House letterhead, May 14, 1992. In full: “Your letter reached me, along with the photograph of my son George, which was taken while he was fishing. Thank you for both. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, as well as your good wishes. To answer your question, I would like to think that George W. does get his love for fishing, if not his good luck, from me. It’s good to know that you, too, share this passion. Many thanks.” Bush adds a handwritten postscript: “P.S. Here’s a shot of Geo. W’s old man!,” as well as an informal greeting to “Bob.” Also included is the photo Bush refers to, a color satin-finish 8 x 10 image of himself fishing, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Bob Glass—From one fisherman to another, Best wishes, George Bush, Signed 5–14–92.” In very fine condition, with a few surface impressions to blank margin of photo. Accompanied by an unsigned engraved “The President” card and the original mailing envelope. Bush’s love for fishing is well known, and he still hosts a fishing tournament in Islamorada, an island in the Florida Keys. RRAuction COA.
