Two TLSs to Gerald G. Wagner of the United Nations Association, each one page, 7.5 x 10.5, personal letterhead, 1971–72. The first, signed “Irving Berlin,” December 1, 1971, in part: “Enclosed are…copies of the program and the U. N. Song. Other than what you and Leon Leonidoff told me, I have heard of how well the song was received which, of course, pleases me.” The second, signed “Irving,” November 21, 1972, in part: “Mrs. Berlin and I did indeed hear the President’s speech and, of course, I was delighted with the ‘God Bless America’ ending…I don’t know whether you know that the Republican Convention closed with a chorus of ‘God Bless America,’ which touched me deeply. I take it for granted that you, along with millions of other Americans including Mrs. Berlin and myself, are delighted by Nixon’s ‘four more years.’ By the way, did you know that this phrase was the title of the second campaign song I wrote for President Eisenhower? The first was ‘I Like Ike.’” In overall very fine condition. A fantastic pairing of letters from American culture’s foremost nationalist icon mentioning his greatest work.
