Description

TLS as president signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 6 x 8.75, White House letterhead, November 22, 1976. Letter to Ida Nessen, in part: "Your kind message is deeply appreciated. We feel very close to Ron and hearing from you in such a thoughtful way has special meaning for us. Long after the hard work and hurried pace of these past weeks are forgotten, I will remember the generous encouragement and goodwill which were extended to me and my entire family by so many good friends. It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of our great country, and I will never forget this wonderful privilege." Double-matted and framed with an engraved plate, the original mailing envelope, and a large image of Ford to an overall size of 15 x 29.25. In very good to fine condition, with light irregular toning, and some stains within the body of the letter. Dark horse candidate Jimmy Carter ousted Ford in his bid for reelection in the 1976 United States presidential election only twenty days earlier.
