LBJ writes to retiring columnist Walter Winchell: "American journalism will not be the same"

TLS, one page, 7 x 8.75, personal letterhead, February 10, 1969. Letter to newspaper gossip columnist and radio news commentator Walter Winchell, in full: "Mrs. Johnson and I were saddened to learn that after 49 years, you have decided to put down your pen. Somehow American journalism will not be the same without your lively column. For many of those 49 years I have been a Walter Winchell reader. Your friendship and support over the years meant a great deal to me. You'll always stand as a legend in your own time. Good luck to you in the days ahead." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, which bears Johnson's franking stamp.
