Description

Reminding his estranged daughter of his mortality, Reagan sends a revealing letter to Patti: “My years are numbered I know”

ALS signed “Love, Dad,” one page, 6.5 x 4.25, personal letterhead, February 10 [1992]. Letter to his daughter Patti. In full: “Thank you for your birthday greeting. It was good to hear from you. My years are numbered I know, so a birthday is greeted by me with some reservations. This one was my 81st. I hope one day we can get together.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Reagan’s hand. Patti’s liberal viewpoints often clashed with her conservative father. They differed on many issues, including gay rights and nuclear weapons, with Patti going so far as to change her surname to Davis. They would eventually reconcile as the family dealt with Reagan’s Alzheimers, with Patti accompanying Nancy Reagan during Reagan’s state funeral. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
