TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, January 15, 1968. Letter to Kingsbury Smith. In full: “Dick Berlin has sent me some of your recent dispatches on our efforts to strengthen the dollar and win peace in Asia. Your insights and confidence are a great encouragement and all here who share the burden of America’s large responsibilities are grateful for the strength of your partnership.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning. Kingsbury-Smith (1908–1999) was a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter and publisher of the New York Journal-American. A few days after writing this letter, on January 21, the Battle of Khe Sanh, one of the most publicized and controversial fights of the war, began, and the start of the Tet Offensive on January 30 marked a turning point against US forces. Optimistic words from LBJ in the midst of rapidly changing world events.
