Description
Ronald Reagan Autograph Letter Signed. One page, 7" x 10", Pacific Palisades (Los Angeles, California), March 25 (no year), on Reagan's personal letterhead. From 1953 through 1962, Reagan was the host of the television series General Electric Theater. Each episode was an adaptation of a play, novel, or short story. The show made Reagan wealthy and, because of its high ratings, famous. This letter is written to an author, "Miss White", who had submitted a play for the General Electric Theater. It reads in full: "I hope you'll forgive me for hanging on to your play so long but I'm helpless to give an answer yet. All our story purchases for this year had been made & right now we are hanging in the air waiting to see if there will be a G. E. Theater next year. For this reason I'm holding your play on my desk & haven't sent it through our story editor. I'll give you an answer as soon as we know anything - if this is alright. If not please let me know & I'll return your wonderfully amusing play. Best regards, Ronald Reagan." Two small stapler holes in upper left corner; folds; otherwise, very fine.Auction Info
