Ronald Reagan signs a handwritten draft of a memo of thanks for the
article.
Draft Autograph Memo Signed: "Ron" as Governor of
California, 1p, 8x4½ yellow lined sheet. [Sacramento], 1968 May 2. To
Stewart Hinckley. In full: "I've just read your article in the
'Needles Desert Star' and want to say thanks & bless you. I'm deeply
grateful." The recipient's name also in his hand. Reagan handwrote
this memo and gave it to his secretary, Cathy Davis, to type. She typed it on
May 2, 1968, writing the date "5-2-68", and drew a line through the text and
initialing below the date, indicating she had typed it. Ronald Reagan
(1911-2004) had two careers: actor and politician. His first movie
was Love is on the Air (1937) and his 53rd and last film was The
Killers (1964). In 1965, he wrote his autobiography, Where's the Rest
of Me?, a line from his role as Drake McHugh in King's Row
(1942). Reagan left his job hosting television's Death Valley Days
during the 1965-1966 season, when he entered politics. Elected Governor of
California in 1966, he was reelected in 1970. Reagan began his campaign for
the presidency and narrowly lost the 1976 Republican nomination to Gerald
Ford. He was elected President in 1980 and was reelected in 1984. After
leaving office in 1989, he wrote his second autobiography, An American
Life. On February 6, 2001, Reagan became just the third U.S. President
to reach the age of 90 and the nation's longest living President until Gerald Ford (d. 2006) lived 45 days longer. Fine
condition.
