Description

"Your thoughtful wishes for my health are deeply appreciated"—two days before LBJ's abdominal hernia surgery

TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, November 14, 1966. Letter to Mary Harshing, in full: “I want to thank you for your good letter. Your comments about my trip are most generous, and your thoughtful wishes for my health are deeply appreciated. With every good wish to you and your son.” In fine condition, with light toning to the margins. Two days after this letter, Johnson underwent a 53-minute double operation to repair an abdominal hernia and remove tissue from the vocal cords at the Bethesda Naval Hospital.
