Description

"The narcotics threat to our young people cannot be tolerated"

ALS signed “R.R.,” one page, 4.5 x 8, May 1, 1967. Handwritten draft of a letter to "Mrs. Johnson," in full: "Many thanks for your letters. I assure you we shall continue to try for answers to the problems you outlined. Certainly the narcotics threat to our young people cannot be tolerated. A study regarding tuition is now being made & I have hopes it will result in a reconsideration of this subject without the emotional sound & fury." Handsomely double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 17.75 x 15. In fine condition. A fascinating letter from the future president who would launch the 'War on Drugs,' touching upon subject matters that continue to afflict the nation to this day.
