Reagan, Ronald. Autograph letter signed, on personalized Presidential Seal note paper, 2 pp., 4¼ x 6¼ in., n.p., March 21, 1991. To Dear Linda. Reagan replies to Linda's request for a personal introduction into the music business and also asks for some personal memories regarding his Dixon High mentor and acting coach, Bernard ("B.J") Frazer. In part: " …I'm afraid I cant (sic) be much help to you regarding the music situation….With regard to your book I can only say portray B.J. as he was and covering his wide field. I can tell you that in his capacity as English teacher he also directed & (sic) produced the class plays &(sic) got a dramatic club started. After almost 2 decades in pictures I still find myself relying on rules of acting I learned from B.J. not all of my memories are connected with stage. One day I was sent to the principles(sic) office (B.J. was now the Dixon principal) for some infraction. B. J. said he wasn't concerned about what I might think of him at that time. He was concerned about what I might think of him after 15 yrs.(sic) had gone by. Well I had the pleasure of telling him 15 years later what my opinion was. I took pleasure in telling him how much I owed him for all his teaching had meant to me…". Even as President, Reagan kept in touch with Frazer and often asked him for advice. Major wrinkling throughout. (It appears that at one time both pages were crumpled up together and thrown out and on second thought retrieved from the trash). Seven minor tears along page edges due to the wrinkling. Overall a nice letter with a rare mention of his beloved teacher. In good condition.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
