Johnson, Lyndon B. Typed Letter Signed ("Lyndon") as Senate Majority Leader, Washington, January 21, 1958, one page, quarto. To comedian Arthur Godfrey, expressing his appreciation for Godfrey's friendship. In part, "Because of the load of great and significant burdens I must carry in line with my duty, I find that I am constantly seeking emotional outlets and trying to surround myself with close and warm friends who bring comfort and soothing to me. These are the folks who aren't trying to 'promote' me but who just love me. Arthur, you are the kind of relatively new friend to whom I feel very close and for whom I feel a great personal affection and esteem….The most dear trait a man can have is that of the capacity to spread cheer and you are one of the few I know who spreads it in abundunce." Much more content. Mounted to a board; light toning from a previous framing; a few minor dings affect two words in the text, but the other blemishes can be matted and framed out.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
