First edition, first printing (with publisher's requisite statement for latter upon copyright page) INSCRIBED BY LYNDON JOHNSON. x, 178 pages. Hardcover: H 21.5cm x L 14.5cm. No dust jacket (i.e. lacking). Brown boards; light scuffing/bumping at spine ends and board corners; slender shelf-wear along boards' bottom edges; spine's gilt lettering rather muted; light stains at boards' bottom center margins but evidenced more strongly upon the respective pastedowns. Light toning to text block's top edge; two small stains to upper fore-edge.

The present item is a genuine signature. It has been compared with a number of examples from the 1950s, including one from the same year of 1951, all of which differ, and Johnson is not known to have used an autopen until he became president (in 1968 it was dubbed 'The Robot That Sits In For The President' by the National Enquirer). 1p, 4to. On a leaf of wove paper, with US government American eagle watermark. In fair condition, lightly aged, and folded twice for postage. There is some light wear to the left of the signature, having a negligible effect on its final uptick. Addressed to 'Mrs. Earl Middleton / 1714 Cromwell Hill / Austin, Texas'. The significance of Gravesend in Kent to the United States lies in the fact that this is where Pocahontas died and St George's is where she is buried (though the actual location has not been known since the church was rebuilt following a fire in the nineteenth century). The letter reads: 'My dear Friend: / This is just a note to thank you for your letter telling me of the forthcoming visit in this country of the Rector of St. George's Church at Gravesend. / While it is impossible to tell at this time what will be the schedule of final business before the adjournment of Congress, it would be a real pleasure for me to meet the Rector if I have the opportunity when he comes through Washington. / With best wishes, I am / Sincerely, / [autograph signature] Lyndon B Johnson / [typed] Lyndon B. Johnson'. See Image.…
