George Bush Typed Letter Signed

TLS as president signed “George,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, August 28, 1990. Letter to actor Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in full: "Thank you for your warm and thoughtful message regarding the situation in the Persian Gulf. I am heartened by the widespread support of the American people for the efforts to enforce United Nations sanctions aimed at bringing about a withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait and a restoration of Kuwait's independence. I am also encouraged by the number of other countries—including Arab nations—that have joined the international effort to defend Saudi Arabia against aggression. Your kind words mean a great deal to me, and I appreciate your support." In fine condition, with faint toning to the lower right corner. Accompanied by a confirmation copy of a telegram sent to Bush by Fairbanks at the beginning of 1989, in part: "Another wish from a sort of old shipmate with great respect and happy expectations. Also warm thoughts to the first lady."
