Barry Goldwater—when it all began.
Barry Goldwater thanks a prominent Republican in DC circles for congratulations on his first election to the Senate. The November 23, 1952, letter, on personal stationery, signed “Barry”, marks the start of Goldwater’s transformational role as a national political figure. Early Goldwater material is not often seen on the market. This is a nice example predating his Senate service.
As a bonus, the matching envelope carries the printed store message “The Most Cherished Gift … Will be From Goldwater’s.” Goldwater became president and CEO of Goldwater’s Department Store in Phoenix, a business started by his father.
Goldwater was perhaps more transformational of national politics by losing the presidential race in 1964 as he would have been had he won. Considered to be one of the leading voices in the conservative movement of the Republican Party, his 1964 race against LBJ is a straight line to Nixon’s victory in the 1968 Republican Primary and Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980. He would be seen later in his career as a voice of Republican and national conscience devoted to principal over party.
Condition. Fine with an insignificant staple hole and some corner bending in the upper left corner.
