Lot 85
Clinton, William Jefferson (1946 -) 42nd President of the United States (1993-2001). Autograph letter signed ("Bill"), 2 separate pages, 9½ x 6 in., on his personal college stationery, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., no date but between 1964 and 1968. To his grandmother, Edith Cassidy ("Dear Mammaw"). Excessively rare handwritten letter to one of the women who had an enormous influence on the early life of the 42nd President. While his mother was away in New Orleans at nursing school, Mrs. Cassidy made sure young Bill Clinton could read at an early age and was quite strict.
This letter reads: "Dear Mammaw, Well, I'm back at school now and getting ready for final tests of the semester. There is sure lots of work to do. It was good to see you again and you sure look good. I can't believe you've lost so much weight. I never did get to see that boy who went to Georgetown who was at the nursing home that day. Maybe I will later though. It's a rainy day today, and it makes me sleepy and not feel like studying. First bad weather we've had in a long time though-it's almost as warm here as it is at home. Must go- write soon when you have time- Tell Buddy & Ollie Hi for me---Love, Bill."
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500.
