Ronald Reagan autograph letter signed as Governor of California regarding a judicial appointment, informally dated 12 May 1967 in another hand, likely by Reagan's secretary Cathy Davis. Reagan pens a draft letter to Dr. John P. Lordan, reading in full, ''To Dr. John P. Lordan M.D. / 133 So. Lasky Dr. / Beverly Hills, Calif. / Dear John / This is a late reply to your April 24 letter but the channels of communication get arterio sclerosis in the halls of govt. / I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your good suggestion. Vivian Pauls name will be put on tap. [word crossed out] I do want to point out that a plan is being followed where in I'm guided by a series of committees appointed by the bar but we'll see that her name gets consideration at the first opportunity. Again thanks. Sincerely / Ron''. At this time, Reagan had recently introduced the California Judicial Selection Act, which he believed would have depoliticized judicial appointments. Single page letter measures 4.75'' x 8.375''. Light uniform toning, overall in near fine condition.
