Two items: TLS, signed “Lady Bird Johnson,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Stonewall, Texas letterhead, November 30, 1979. In a response to an inquiring admirer, Johnson writes, in full: “Thank you for your very kind letter. I appreciate your warm and generous words about Lyndon. He would be proud to know about his young namesake, Baines Johnson! And now, to your questions. In the summer of 1964, I expressed to Lyndon my hope that he would run for election at that time but plan to retire after that term. I held firmly to that opinion as 1968 rolled around and he had to make the decision whether to run again or not. Everything I did during my days in the White House was the work of many hands. However, the thing I most enjoyed was my involvement with conservation and beautification of our great land”; and a print of Johnson, 5 x 7, signed in black felt tip beneath a printed facsimile Lyndon Johnson signature, “Lady Bird Johnson—thank you for your thoughtfulness.” In fine condition, with one of the two horizontal mailing folds lightly affecting two letters of Lady Bird’s signature.
