"<i>Love, Dutch</i>" 1p. large 8vo., [n.p., n.d.], to Rev. B. H. Cleaver. Reagan refers to events at the 1972 Republican Convention in Miami, in part: "<i>...I'm afraid the `Eureka Jazz Band' was fiction dreamed up by some commentator. Actually, the band was the same for all the demonstrations, hired by the convention...Neil [Ronald's older brother] has told me all about his visit...which makes me more than a little bit envious...As for this branch of the family, just know that in the aftermath of Miami, Nancy & I are greatly relieved & very happy...</i>". Secretary's ink line drawn across text and initialed at top, else fine. The 1972 convention was marred by widespread protests and some violence, finally resulting in the Nixon/Agnew ticket being again endorsed.<b>$600-800</b>
