Description

A typed Letter, signed “Lyndon B. Johnson,” to W. Parkman Rankin.

  • Lyndon B. Johnson (American).
  • Washington, DC: The White House, August 19, 1964.
  • Sent as a thank you for prayers following the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
  • Typed letter on White House stationery with envelope.
  • In quarter brown morocco slipcase.


Lyndon B. Johnson writes as President to W. Parkman Rankin, Executive Vice President of THIS WEEK magazine, “You are certainly thoughtful to write me following dedication ceremonies of the Samuel I. Newhouse Communications Center at Syracuse University … Thank you, too, for your prayerful blessing in performance of the tasks which lie ahead …”


The later half of the letter refers to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which had been passed by a joint resolution of Congress on August 7, 1964, and gave the President authority to use conventional military force in Vietnam without Congressional approval.
