Description

“I stomped on his head—then realized I was wearing sneakers”

TLS as president signed “Ronald,” two pages, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, July 15, 1987. Letter to Sam and Bertha Sisco. In part: “I know your distress at what happened to Dassy-Doo. I once had a dog bitten by a rattler while I was riding at the ranch. I killed the snake with a rock, then rushed the dog to the vet and, like in your case, he recovered. I have a feeling your problem right now is a result of the clearing of the nearby property. The same thing happened to us…My worst moment came when I sighted a rattler crawling toward some rocks and couldn’t find a stick or stone handy. Being accustomed to always wearing high leather boots at the ranch, I stomped on his head—then realized I was wearing sneakers that day. Someone must have been looking out for me.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered staining. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
