TLS as president signed “Dutch,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, January 23, 1984. Letter to his friend Bill Thompson. In full: “Thanks so much for all your recent correspondence. I really appreciate your keeping me informed on the progress of the house and am truly grateful for all that you and everyone are doing to complete the home. I can’t tell you how anxious I am to see it finished and to say hello to so many old friends.

Kathy told me our Advance team is heading out to Dixon tomorrow and that they will be working with all of you on the details of the trip. Also, Jim Hooley has assured her that everyone involved in the renovating of the Reagan Boyhood Home will play some part in the day’s activities, so don’t be concerned about the possibility of Jean and some of the other wives being left out.

Please thank Ruth Graybill for the cavalry horseshoe. I appreciate her giving it to me and I’m delighted to have it. Again, my thanks for all your time and effort on this project. I look forward to seeing everyone on the 6th of February.” In fine condition, with light show-through from two mounting remnants on reverse edges. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.

Reagan’s Illinois boyhood home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 after a group of local residents purchased the residence. To celebrate his 73rd birthday on February 6, 1984, the president returned home to the Rock River Valley to visit with old friends like Thompson. It marked the only trip to Dixon that Reagan would make while in office. Great content as the White House resident looks back on his years in another ‘white house’ in a sleepy Illinois town.
