Ford, Gerald R (1913-2006) 38th President of the United States (1974-77).
Typed letter signed as President, on White House letterhead, 1p, 8¾ x 6¾", Washington, Aug. 31, 1974. To entertainer Pearl Buck, just three weeks after being thrust into the presidency with Richard Nixon's resignation. In part: "…Thank you…for your wonderful telegrams expressing support following my swearing in as President. I did not seek either office as you know. But with God's help and the faith and confidence of good friends such as you throughout the country I will do my very best to fulfill the obligations of the office…." Very fine. An excellent letter, possibly the best Ford letter as President that we have seen.
Estimated Value $400 - 800.
