WILLIAM G. MILLIKEN. TLS: "William G. Milliken" as Governor of Michigan,
1p, 7¼x10½. Lansing, Michigan, 1973 October 22. On embossed letterhead of State of
Michigan/Office of the Governor to Mr. Danny Franklin, Phoenix, Arizona. In full: "I
appreciate, very much, your very warm comments. I am pleased to send you the enclosed
photograph of Mrs. Milliken and me that was taken recently. Again, thank you for writing.
Sincerely". Photograph not present. William Grawn Milliken (1922-2019) was the Republican
Governor of Michigan from 1969-1983. Serving for 14 years, he holds the record for
longevity for Governors of the state, and his record will likely stand, as Michigan Governors
are now limited to two terms. Milliken, a veteran of WWII, had previously served in the
Michigan State Senate (1961-1964) and as Lieutenant Governor of Michigan (1965-1969).
The son and grandson of Michigan politicians (James T. and James W. Milliken,
respectively), Milliken was instrumental in the formation of the Council of Great Lakes
Governors in 1982. In 2004, he broke ranks with the Party to support John Kerry in his bid
to unseat George W. Bush. Usual mailing folds, not at signature. Fine condition.
