TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, October 13, 1967. Letter to Nelson Roots, president of the D.C. Federation of Civic Associations. In part: “I am delighted once again to join in the observance of Civic Responsibility Week in our Nation’s Capital. As Washington enters a bold new era of unparalleled potential in its civic life, it must be comforting to the new city leadership to know that members of the D. C. Federation of Civic Associations are championing the cause of a better, safer, and more pleasant community in which to live and work. Despite the enduring commitment of concerned citizens, we face an unfinished agenda of essential programs for our city.” Paperclip impression to top edge and scattered toning and foxing, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a letter to Roots from the Commissioner of the District of Columbia, and the original mailing envelope. A very turbulent time in Johnson's tenure as President, on October 21, 1967—one week after writing this letter—100,000 people gathered outside the White House to protest the Vietnam War.
