Item description from seller

Autograph; 8vo; 1 pages; Manuscript Note written and Signed by Jan Greenberg Levine, wife of Congressman Mel Levine (D-CA 27th), on Congressional Letterhead to Katherine "Kay" Evans. "Sept. 20, 1990 / Dear Kay and Rollie, // We had a marvelous / evening last night at your / lovely dinner party. Thanks / so much for including us. // Not only were both the / meal and the company superb, / but I, for one, was relieved / to learn that at least one member / of the Evans household appears to / retain some fidelity to the Democratic / Party. // Thanks so much again for a very / stimulating and enjoyable evening. / Sincerely, / Jan and Mel L." Jan Greenberg Levine, recently retired Superior Court Judge in California was then the wife of Meldon E. Levine, an American attorney and former Democratic Congressman from California. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1993. PROVENANCE: Rowland Evans was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria. In 1963, Mr. Evans and Mr. Novak began writing ''Inside Report,'' an insider's view of politics that was published four times a week until Mr. Evans retired in 1993. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Both Evans and Novak became more predictably conservative over the years, particularly during the Reagan years. Reportedly, both columnists voted for JFK in 1960 and for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Evans earned a place on Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List." Novak reported that Evans had JFK as a guest for the first dinner party the latter attended as President Elect. Kay and Rowland Evans has a particularly close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, his wife Ethel and their family.; Signed by Author.…
