TLS as president, one page, 6.5 x 8.5, White House letterhead, November 3, 1965. Typed letter to California Congressman Craig Hosmer, in full: “I would like you to have this freshly minted quarter. It has just come from the Mint, the first result of your new coinage legislation. On August 24, 1935, President Roosevelt wrote of the 74th Congress, ‘It has dealt, in a spirit of statesmanship, with matters of vital interest to the lives of our people. Much has been accomplished for the permanent well-being of the Nation as a whole.’ I wanted you as a member of the even more enlightened and public-minded 89th Congress to have this shiny quarter as a memento. Perhaps it may become a treasured keepsake in your family.” Matted and framed with a 1965 quarter (attested by the consignor as being the same coin referenced in the letter) to an overall size of 10 x 14.25. In fine condition, with slightly irregular light toning.
