A great letter linking two of the dominant global figures of the 20th century
Ronald Reagan took office in January 1981 and one of the first congratulatory notes he received was from Queen Elizabeth II. Their correspondence began immediately; both shared a love of horses, ranching, and traditional entertainment (horsemanship, pageantry), helping build rapport.
In June 1982, Reagan visited the UK and became the first sitting US President to stay overnight at Windsor Castle. The Queen and Reagan rode horses together and a major banquet was held at Buckingham Palace in his honor.
Just months later, the Queen reciprocated and in March 1983 she visited the Reagan Ranch. This was part of the 200th anniversary of the end of the Revolutionary War. It was a great moment in British-American relations.
Typed letter signed, on White House letterhead, July 26, 1982, to Mr. FW Perryman of Middlesex, UK. “Thank you very much for sending me the cartoon. I hadn’t seen it and am happy to have it.
“May I say Her Majesty is truly a Queen and a warm, gracious lady I much admire and respect.”
This is the only letter of Reagan relating to his admiration of Queen Elizabeth II that we have seen.
