And thank you for the Joke — I’m already a smash with it. Bless you. Now about my hair! I can’t get over it. Every place I go & almost everyone I meet — especially you gals tell me to have it short that I look much younger this way. Now that’s tempting — do I or don’t I. I must say there is an advantage in the mornings — not having anything to comb. But Nancy it’s always good to hear from you. You remain a very important & beloved part of our life. Nancy — that’s my Nancy — sends her love. So do I.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original hand-addressed envelope, which bears Reagan’s printed franking signature.
