RONALD REAGAN
While pursuing the Republican Presidential nomination in 1976, he signs a
typed letter thanking psychic Jeane Dixon for a complimentary letter.
Typed Letter signed: "Ron", 1 page, 7x10½. Los Angeles, California,
1976 July 14. On personal letterhead to Mrs. Jeane Dixon, Washington, D.C.
In full: "This is no more than a hasty line to say thanks for your
kind and generous letter. It's hardly a fair trade but I'm literally between
planes all the time these days. As we come down to the wire, it will be a
handful of 'uncommitted delegates' who decide the outcome. You are right about
the surrogates and the powers employed by the incumbent but, so far, the voice
of the people is registering. Whether it will prevail remains to be seen. Again,
thanks. Nancy sends her best and give our regards to Jimmy." 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.
JEANE DIXON (1904-1997) earned fame for her prophecies, making some
uncannily accurate ones as well as many incorrect predictions. She gained
further publicity when Michael Deaver, Deputy Chief of Staff in the Reagan
White House, disclosed that First Lady Nancy Reagan often consulted astrologers
and fortune tellers, including Jeane Dixon. The "Jimmy" in the letter was
James L. Dixon, whom Jeane had married in 1939. Staple holes in upper left
corner. Mailing folds, not at signature. Otherwise, fine
condition.
