Description

Get-well note to General MacArthur—an exceedingly rare format

Rare ANS as president on a 4 x 2.25 gilt-edged card featuring an embossed presidential seal, no date but circa spring 1964. Note to General Douglas MacArthur, headed “Wednesday, 10 a.m.” in Johnson’s hand. In full: “General—We are so happy at your marvelous progress and pray for your complete recovery, Our best, Lyndon B. Johnson.” In fine condition, with mounting remnants to reverse. MacArthur had been admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center for liver problems and passed away on April 5, 1964. As White House cards signed by Johnson are virtually nonexistent, this example serves as a fine substitute and is especially desirable given its association with one of America’s greatest generals. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
