Handwritten letter from Gerald Ford as vice president, signed in the postscript, "J.," one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States letterhead, December 26, [1973]. In full: "Sorry to have been so tardy but with all the news media & some skiing I'm way behind. Also, I apologize for the 'out-of-date' letterhead. I'm enclosing a V.P. card & a Senate booklet which I hope will suffice. Trying to find something else, which would be appropriate, is difficult." The postscript: "No secretary in Vail so this is by my own bad handwriting. J." Included is the referenced "The Vice President" card, 3.5 x 2, signed in blue ballpoint, "Congratulations and best wishes, Jerry Ford." In overall fine condition, with light toning over most of the letter, and an old tape stain in its upper right corner; the VP card has a light stain at its center from some old adhesive residue on the reverse.
