Two letters, each one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, dated August 18, 2000, and addressed to Peter Paul. First, an ALS from Bill Clinton as president, in full: “Thanks so much for the wonderful event. As you could tell, I loved it—I enjoyed my time with you and your wife too—And of course I’m very grateful for the boost it gave Hillary’s campaign.” Second, a TLS from Hillary Clinton as first lady, signed “Hillary,” in part: “Thank you very much for hosting Saturday night’s tribute to the President and for everything you did to make it the great occasion that it was. We will remember it always.” Hillary also adds a brief postscript in her own hand, “Thanks so much.” In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from University Archives.
A week before these letters were written, recipient Peter Paul saw months of planning come to fruition with the impressive Gala Hollywood Farewell Salute to President Clinton, which also served as a the largest fundraising event in Hillary’s senatorial campaign. The Clintons’ friendly feelings would soon subside, as Paul claimed that he had been promised pardons for his past criminal convictions—for drug dealing and federal conspiracy charges—in exchange for his work on the event. He began a lengthy series of civil and criminal lawsuits against the Clintons, none successful. An excellent pair of letters to a man who would soon become a major nuisance in the politicans’ lives. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
