A unique and prestigious piece of American historical memorabilia is up for auction with this Lyndon B. Johnson signed typed letter to a Mr. Dan Sackley, dated from the significant month of October 1964.

Historical Significance: Serving as the 36th president of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson's tenure was marked by substantial legislative action including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid, and the initiatives of the "Great Society" programs aiming to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. October 1964 was particularly pivotal as it was a month prior to Johnson winning the presidential election by a landslide, capturing over 61% of the popular vote, the largest percentage since the popular vote first became widespread in 1824. This letter offers a direct connection to the Johnson presidency, reflecting his active communication and political maneuvers during a time of immense social and political transformation in the United States.
