Pristine condition; accompanied by the original envelope, which carries no postage because it was hand-delivered. Addressed to Bo Foster who owned Citrus House, a business in Disneyland, from 1960-90. Walt thanks Bo Foster for his Christmas gift: "Your Christmas remembrance of a case of oranges and a case of grapefruit was most thoughtful and was enjoyed by the entire family. Please accept our sincere appreciation along with best wishes for a year filled with every good thing for you and yours. Sincerely, Walt Disney." Mr. Foster informs us that Walt used to come into his store in the morning and squeeze his own orange juice. Walt would die the same year he wrote this letter (17 Dec. 1966). A wonderful letter, with the magic name of Walt Disney and a Disneyland address.
