Jimmy Carter- singed letter as president “Jimmy”. The July 30, 1979 letter thanks Eppie Lederer – the advice columnist better known by her pen name Ann Landers – for her encouragement and pledges that he will “keep on listening to the voices of concerned friends…”
He boldly signs his first name away from all the type, creating an excellent example of his signature as president. There are a couple of stains at the top blank edge and a smaller one at the lower left margin.
Carter’s autograph is not rare but personally signed letters during his one term as president are not as common as people might think. The content of the letter is rather routine, but the association is particularly nice with one of the cultural /media icons of the last half of the 20th Century. For those you don’t remember, “Ann Lander’s column was “Ask Ann Landers” and she was the twin sister of Pauline Philips, better known as Abigail Van Buren or “Dear Abby”. Together they helped define the advice column format and dominated American newspapers for decades.
