Typed Letter
Signed: "Jerry Ford" as House
Minority Leader, 1p, 8x10½. Washington, D.C., 1965
September 14. To Mr. And Mrs. Thomas B. Meldau, Los Angeles. In full:
"I wish to acknowledge and thank you for your recent letter calling for a
meaningful peace instead of a meaningless settlement. As you know I feel the
same way that you do. Thank you for your kind message and support and for taking
the time to write me." Ford, representing Michigan in Congress since 1949,
had just been elected Republican leader of the House on January 4, 1965. It
wasn't until January 27, 1973, that the United States, North Vietnam, South
Vietnam and the Viet Cong provisional government signed a cease-fire agreement
in Paris, in effect ending the Vietnam War. It wasn't until April 30, 1975, when
Ford was President of the United States, that the South Vietnam government
announced their unconditional surrender to the Viet Cong, officially ending the
war. Light horizontal fold touches the descenders of the "J" and "y" in
signature. Fine condition.
