TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, August 29, 1963. Letter to Mr. W. Glynn Roehr, Neenah, Wisconsin, who had asked Whitman Daniels, editor of the Monitor, the bimonthly publication of Associated Industries of New York State, four questions relative to Reagan's ‘A Time for Choosing,’ an article published in the Monitor earlier that year. In part: “Your letter has been forwarded to me by Mr. Daniels of the Monitor…As to your questions regarding sources, it's awfully hard for me to list all of them except to say that the bulk of my reading has been confined to research in these various subjects. I am enclosing a bibliography for the talk 'A Time for Choosing' [not present]…I might add that I have found two publications extremely useful not only for information but for leads to other sources of information…a Washington paper called Human Events…a magazine, National Review…I hope these are of some help…” Accompanied by Daniels’ letter to Roehr as well as a copy of A Time for Choosing. Staple holes to upper left and a very faint, thin strip of central vertical toning, otherwise fine condition.
Reagan delivered ‘A Time for Choosing’ during a televised address supporting Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential bid. The sweeping speech touched on most of the hotbed issues of the time, including the Vietnam War, welfare, taxes, and the fiscal crisis facing the United States government. At its root, however, the speech was Reagan’s call for the public to rally around American values, and many historians view it as the foundation of his political career.
