Description

Early ALS from Jimmy Carter, from the year he became governor

ALS signed “Jimmy,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 27, 1970. A handwritten letter to “Mike,” in full: “I want you to work for me full time this summer, coordinating the work among young people throughout Georgia. If you can do what I wish, you would be gone from Walker County almost full time. I need to discuss this with you personally & in detail as soon as it is convenient for you. It sounds as though Bob Macalister can be of great help to us & I look forward to meeting him. Congratulations on your research project! I’m really proud of Claude, and am writing to congratulate him. He is a wonderful young man with a bright future, & I see your helpful hand in his election.” In fine condition, with some faint stains in the margins. An uncommon early example—Carter would be elected Governor of Georgia in November of that year.
