Description

The first lady prepares to babysit at the White House and recounts her daughter’s visit to London

ALS signed “Lady Bird,” two pages, 6.25 x 9.25, White House letterhead, no date. Letter to “Margy,” wife of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. In part: “I’m so happy to find that you and Bob are off together for a little rest and quiet. When I leave town to go home it’s just like Alice stepping through the Looking Glass—it becomes a different world—and I’m engaged in different things, and think and talk a different life from here…Lynda has just returned from London and we had a two-some lunch at one of her quiet fun places in town (we both like to get out of the house!) and had a delicious account of dates, art galleries, Tudor time Castles, and gay gay parties…And Luci, Pat, and Lyn will be arriving Sunday afternoon for just a one night stay as they (Luci and Pat, I mean) go on for a second honeymoon, at the same place in Nassau. Lyn will stay here with us.” In fine condition. Letter originates from the Estate of Robert S. McNamara. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
