Description

Reagan on the day of his first electoral victory: “Nancy & I are happy but still a little too stunned to realize that it’s really happened”

ALS signed “Ron,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 8, [1966]. Letter to actor Regis Toomey. In part: “As you can imagine Nancy & I are happy but still a little too stunned to realize that it’s really happened. You brought back a lot of memories of those S. A. G. days. Those were good times even when we were involved in the battles. Maybe some of what we learned will come in handy in the next few years. Anyway we’re signed on for a 4 year run.” Affixed to a slightly larger sheet. In fine condition. The 1966 California gubernatorial election took place on the very day Reagan wrote this letter, which he won in a 58-42 landslide, carrying all but three counties. A historic letter containing Reagan’s immediate reaction to the first major milestone of his storied political career. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
