Description

Four items signed in ink or felt tip by George Bush, including an off-white 4 x 6 bookplate (signed "All the best, George Bush") and three TLSs, ranging in size from 6.25 x 4.25 to 8.5 x 11, dated between 1969 and 1988. The first typed letter, April 15, 1969, on his personal Congressional letterhead, in part: “I’m just back from the Mexican Interparliamentary Meeting in Mexico (a huge success) and a week politicking in Texas. There seems to be no letup at the pace either at home or here.” The second letter, November 16, 1984, on a Vice President stationery card, in part: “I’m afraid I don’t remember any details about ‘Free Enterprise’…Thanks for your supportive words about the election.” The last letter, November 9, 1988, signed as president-elect one day after the 1988 United States presidential election, in part: “From the snows of New Hampshire to the Convention in New Orleans to our victory on November 8th, I have been helped and inspired by the untiring efforts of people like you.” In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope for the VP letter, which bears Bush’s stamped franking signature, two photos of George and Barbara Bush (both bearing autopen signatures), and a packet from the Committee for the American Bicentennial Presidential Inaugural, which contains an invitation, a certificate, and a photo, with the latter two bearing preprinted signatures.
