Two magnificent archives of correspondence between President Jimmy Carter & First Lady Rosalynn and President Ronald Reagan & First Lady Nancy to the Osborne Family of Little Rock, Arkansas are offered here. Both collections are bound in luxurious and quite special custom made albums. 1) JIMMY CARTER: There are a total of 39 letters, notes and cards sent from the former First Family to the millionaire Arkansas businessman. Here's the breakdown (most are full-size letters): Two handwritten by Jimmy only, 15 typed by Jimmy only (many with added handwritten salutations), two handwritten by Jimmy & Rosalynn, seven typed by Rosalynn. Most have handwritten salutations, nine are handwritten by Rosalynn, and one envelope is signed by Jimmy. There are 40 other miscellaneous pieces from Carter family members, employees of the Carter Center, and more, including printed emails from the Carters. The letter content is for official events, holidays, and thank yous, some of which are on stationery with the Presidential Seal. 2) RONALD REAGAN: Additional luxurious, custom made special album devoted to Ronald Reagan & Nancy. There are a total of 68 letters, cards and more including three Nancy Reagan signed letters, although nothing signed by the President.
