THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON
November 16, 1983

Dear Mr. Reese:

I am delighted with the sculpture which Gary Nelson of Senator Dole's staff brought to the White House on your behalf. Bighorn sheep indeed roam my ranch and I certainly appreciate your giving me your handsome rendering of one of these magnificent animals. The bronze will serve as a special reminder of a particularly talented friend in the Sunflower State. Many thanks.

It means a lot to me to know that I can count on your support. I truly admire your spirit and thought you might like to have the enclosed photograph. This print comes with my best wishes for the same happiness you give to everyone fortunate enough to benefit from your work.

Sincerely,

Ronald Reagan
