Bill Clinton TLS "I will serve to the best of my ability."

Item Details

Description

Bill Clinton TLS "I will serve to the best of my ability."

TLS, 8.5" x 11", Little Rock, Arkansas, dated August 22, 1983, and written on "State of Arkansas / Office of the Governor" stationary and addressed to Gloria Staggs (O'Donnell). O'Donnell was a member of his original campaign for Congressman in the mid-70s and later during his governmental years in Arkansas. Following O'Donnell's role on Clinton's Arkansas campaigns, the two would remain pen pals well into his presidential years and beyond. This letter comes directly from her collection. Accompanied by the original envelope.

The TLS reads:

"Dear Gloria:

I am sorry I missed you when you were in, as it would have been good to visit with you.

Please know how very much I appreciate your words of encouragement and support. You may rest assured I will serve to the best of my ability.

Thank you for your continued support."

Sincerely,

Bill"
