SOLD Ronald Reagan’s Retrospective

“I often wonder if I would have gone on if I’d known all I know now, and still I have no regrets.”.

Reagan served as Governor of California from 1967-75. His first term was eventful and controversial, as the Vietnam War and the upheavals and student protests it generated were at their height, and he was carrying out a program to restructure the California tax system and government. Looking back, he wondered about his decision to go into politics and yet found great fulfillment in it.

Typed Letter Signed on Governor’s Office letterhead, Sacramento, August 7, 1972, to Mrs. Carl N. Anderson. “Just a line to thank you for your good letter and to say it was good to see you, even if only for a brief wave. Sometimes those days you recalled in ‘65 and ‘66 seem a million years back, and yet in another way only yesterday. I often wonder if I would have gone on if I’d known all I know now, and still I have no regrets. This has filled my life more than anything I’ve ever done.” Included is an original invitation to his first inauguration as governor.
