Carter, Jimmy. Autograph note signed on the lower right portion of a letter sent to Miss Lillian from Gary Lorenz of the Symphony School of America, La Crosse, Wisconsin, March 25, 1982, requesting her help in getting her son to write down his thoughts on his musical preferences. Success, for President Carter writes "My first were Grieg's piano concerto & all four of Rachmaninoff's (3rd my favorite). At the Naval Academy, my favorite music was Liebestod from Tristan. I like classical guitar & Recuerdos de la Alhambra is my favorite piece. Among operas, La Traviata was an early preference. Leontyne Price is my #1 operatic singer! These are just a very few of my favorites." Accompanied by a secretarially-signed letter to Mr. Lorenz dated April 21, 1982, and a note from Carter's assistant Faye Dill, dated June 8, 1982, apologizing for taking so long to get Mr. Carter's reply to him. A charming look into the musical taste of the former President. Fine condition.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
