ALS, one page, 6.25 x 4.25, personal letterhead, June 3, 1990. A note addressed to Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife. In full: "Dear Mikhail & Raisa—Welcome to California! Fondly, & Ron." In very fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA. Reagan clearly left space for Nancy's signature before his own, but she did not sign, perhaps recognizing that a replacement note would be prepared due to President Reagan’s unsuccessful attempt to remedy a spelling error initially made in “Mikhail.” This example remained incomplete and was presumably put aside with a corrected version given to the Gorbachevs. President George Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev held a three-day summit in Washington at the beginning of June 1990, after which the Gorbachevs visited California. The Reagans met him for breakfast at the Soviet Consulate in San Francisco during his brief trip west, during which they reminisced about their early summits. A unique and historic Reagan piece with a direct association to his presidency and the Cold War. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
